In 1986 Ray Scott became a man who started a small company in the southern part of Montgomery,AL. He wanted to find a way to produce and and hold bigger bucks on his property. So the food plot revolution began and a new era for planting for whitetail deer became one of today’s most famous way’s to grow bigger rack and larger body deer.
With wildlife seed’s such as Imperial whitetail clover, whitetail extreme, chicory plus, “chic magnet”, Imperial Alfa-Rack plus, winter greens, and the new Double Cross have sky rocketed into a high protein feeding frenzy for wildlife managers or today. With over one million acres planted the whitetail seed’s have gone to all time high’s.
With Ray Scott’s two son’s Wilson and Steve Scott they together have mad the food plot industry what it is today. I have had the pleasure of working under these two fine men and also under the late Dr. Wiley Johnson an agronomist and plant geneticist from the University of Auburn. I will always remember the things that the Institute’s once Biologist Jody Holdbrooks a graduate of Auburn and the late Dr. Johnson told me was to always make sure to put the seed in the rite spot.
Dr. Johnson was a loved and caring man at the office and away from it. He will be missed forever. My days at the Institute were always filled with fun things to learn and the staff there were like none else anywhere I had ever worked. I can still remember every morning getting there about the same time as Mr. Steve and him asking me have you turned the alarm off yet. He was always there to meet me and do it for me cause I never learned how to operate the darn thing. Steve was always standing behind me to help me and leed me in the rite direction.
Wilson Scott was a man that you were always ready to get to work and see when he arrived. He is a man of his word and would stand beside you and help you when you needed help the most. One thing I can say about him is a true outdoors-man could never ask for a greater friend and boss. He is in my book the true conservationist of the year. If I ever had a chance to choose and work for any boss that I’ve ever had in the past he would be him and his brother Steve.
