However, with the help of some lawn fertilizer, I had very good growth. I have also planted it on logging roads that were quite shady. The sun light level increased when the leaves fell and I was able to plant in an otherwise under-utilized location. Obviously, if you have good agricultural type soil it performs even better. You can find complete planting instructions on Antler King's web site.
Protein is essential in the whitetails' diet.
This is especially important when one considers that many deer suffer from less than adequate protein levels. When this happens whitetails do not meet their potential body weight and antler development. Reproductive success decreases and the deer may be more susceptible to perdition and diseases. In the fall many plants are near the end of their growth cycle. These plants can be less digestible for whitetails and often have a lower nutrient level return.
