The Whitetail Institute of North America. The name just screams food plot innovations. Since 1988, The Whitetail Institute has been a leader and innovator of the food plot industry. The Whitetail Institute was once alone in the food plot industry, now there are many companies with food plot seed products. Imitation is the best form of flattery…

The scientists at The Whitetail Institute continue to research and develop one-of-a-kind seeds which are only available in Whitetail Institute products. Now their scientists have come out with something new.

Forage Oats Plus

The backbone of FORAGE OATS PLUS is “Whitetail Oats”, a high-sugar, cold-tolerant forage oat that is only available in Whitetail Institute products.  The Institute first learned of this oat variety years ago through one of its world-wide agriculture contacts.  The variety had been included in the initial stages of university testing to compare how well different oat varieties performed as grain producers.  In order for oats to produce grain, though, they must mature and flower, and this variety had been grazed so heavily by deer that the university researchers had completely removed it from grain production testing and “shelved” it!    While the university had seen the variety’s exceptional attractiveness to deer as a negative to grain production, the Whitetail Institute was obviously intrigued and spent the next six years testing it as a deer forage under real-world conditions at its certified research stations across North America.

FORAGE OATS PLUS is designed to thrive in a wide range of soil types, from slightly sandy to heavy bottomland.  Loamy to heavy soils are best.  One 45-pound bag of FORAGE OATS PLUS will plant up to ½ acre. 

If you’ve been looking for a Fall/Winter forage that is easy to plant, establishes very quickly, begins drawing deer right away and holds them on your property longer into the cold winter months, FORAGE OATS PLUS is what you’ve been waiting for.

By Robert Householder

Robert was introduced to hunting by his uncle, Jeff Hendricks, at a very young age. He grew up in the outdoors, hunting and fishing at every opportunity. He started, as most boys do, with hunting squirrels and rabbits but was soon deer hunting with his uncle and thus started a true love for deer hunting. Jeff and Robert were two of a kind and stayed in the woods or on the water as much as possible until his uncles death in 2007.

Robert was introduced to turkey hunting by a close friend, Jerry Golden, and soon developed a passion for hunting this elusive bird. It remains one of his favorite game to hunt.

Robert has branched out of just hunting in Alabama to include states like Iowa, Mississippi and Georgia. He hopes to continue to hunt game in other states in the future. Robert is a veteran of the first Gulf war and served in the USAF for a total of 7 years, including assignments in Germany, Nebraska, Texas and Illinois.

Robert is the owner of an IT Managed Services company (www.gtinow.com) in Greenville, Alabama and is the founder of TalkHunting. He has been married to his wonderful wife, Annette, since 1985 and has 3 grown children, 2 sons and a daughter. He also has one grand daughter, (Katie) and one Grandson (Jake). Robert is also a hobbyist beekeeper.

God, Family and the outdoors are his life.....
