The drought we had last fall knocked back our food plots significantly. As a result we stepped up our off-season supplemental feeding substantially to make up for the loss of browse that would have otherwise been available. We have put out over a 1000 lbs of feed through 7 feeders spread across the property so…

Land Management means prescribed burns
March 6th, 2018The conditions were finally perfect yesterday to get some areas burned. We were very happy to finally get this safely accomplished this year. Burning areas on a rotating basis is something we try to practice every year. They used to be called ‘controlled burns’ now they are referred to as ‘prescribed burns’. I’m guessing that’s…
A Beautiful Day to be in the Woods
February 23rd, 2018Getting out in the woods on a beautifully clear, sunny day following an ice storm can provide some spectacular views. It was quite a contrast between the north facing slopes which were still ice covered in the afternoon versus the south facing slopes where the melting was taking place. It was also a bit treacherous…
2016 Opening of Rifle Season
November 13th, 2016We were concerned going in to this season that expectations would be too high after the success we had last year. It turns out we didn’t have to worry as yesterday was an incredible start to rifle season. By 8:00 am we had 3 bucks, 2 does and a coyote down. Four of these were…
1st Day of Spring means thinking about Turkeys but also preparing for Fall Deer
March 20th, 2016The first day of spring isn’t when you start thinking about spring turkey hunting, that started at the end of deer season, but it is when the preparations and anticipation kicks into gear. The start of the season and our first group of hunters is just a month away. After last year’s great season it…
Seeding / Reseeding Clover in our Food Plots
February 18th, 2016It was plenty cold and there was a dusting of snow and sleet at our place but this was a good opportunity to reseed several of our food plots and plant some seed in a few new areas. Clover is one of the best plantings you can have for deer. We have had good luck…
A Great First Week of the Season
November 20th, 2015Monday was rainy but Tuesday took it to a whole ‘nother level. We received 5” of rain in a 24 hour period making the hunting conditions much tougher. This didn’t deter our hunters who took advantage of our 4 box blinds, 2 covered tower stands and a few portable stand umbrellas to endure the wet…
Five Buck tags filled after 3 days of hunting
November 17th, 2015We had a great opening day but with a little luck we could have had an exceptional day. Our 9 hunters bagged a 10 point, an 8 point, a doe and a White Oak (I promised not to name names). Everyone saw deer with most seeing shooter bucks. There were several missed opportunities though they…
“Best hunt of my life!”
November 11th, 2015That was the quote from a gentleman with 30 years of hunting experience after his hunt last Saturday morning and that’s without taking a shot! He saw a total of 17 deer including 1 10 point, 3 8 point, a 4 point and a spike. He described one of the 8s as a ‘monster’. He…
Great Numbers of Bucks on Trail Cams
October 23rd, 2015We have never captured this many bucks on our trail cams! We have seen over a dozen shooter bucks at multiple locations across the property. We have captured a few shots of sparring bucks in the past years but this year we have multiple shots in many different sites. It has been difficult to review…
