Tony Atwood – Minnesota
I planted No-Plow a week before the farmer would harvest the crops whether it was corn or soybeans. By that time the crops would be in there drying stage. I would spread the seeds in a fairly large circle. From there I would fertilize the heck out of it and by the time the rut would come around the No-Plow mixture would be about 4” tall or so, sometimes taller depending on rainfall. The soil I was planting the No-Plow in was not the best, a lot of sand and shade from the trees. But it works every year! This is what I shot this 9 point, 146 class buck off of during the first week of November.
I planted Winter-Greens on a long narrow food plot along with a big name brassica competitor. I was talking to a Whitetail Institute rep earlier that year and he told me if I really want to know which one works better to let the deer tell me. So I planted half the big name product and half Whitetail Institute Winter-Greens. That whole late season I watched numerous deer (totaling around 60) walk literally right through the so called competitor to eat the Winter-Greens. I can’t recall a single deer stopping and grazing off the other product. If that isn’t proof of which product is made and designed for deer I don’t know what is. That year I shot a 9 point buck missing 4 tines and he still scored 120.
