Taking “Let Him Walk” to the Next Level

After years of very selective buck harvest, supplemental feeding, and an intense food plot program, I have grown a true southern giant. While we have been growing and killing above average deer for a long time (for the area), this particular buck was a “man among men.”

The Creation of Food Plots Begins With a Goal

BioLogic, utilizing science and technological-advances in forage production, have created a line that offers the perfect combinations when it comes to a 100% effective food plot. In addition, a deer manager can go on the website, select his zone/region and the species being focused on and immediately find the correct products they need for their particular location; not to mention an easy-to-use soil testing guide.

Inside Sanctuaries

As the Quality Deer Management philosophy becomes further anchored as the dominant mindset among whitetail hunters, achieving greater numbers of mature bucks is not the hurdle it once was. Instead, there’s another hindrance…killing them. Helping to clear that barrier is the “sanctuary,” a landscape feature that has recently become a familiar part of conversations about hunting tactics, property set-up, and small-acreage management.

Hunting Season Ends but the New Sport of Shedding Begins!

More and more, hunters, landowners and property managers are taking an in-depth interest in being able to attract more deer to their landscape, which means finding ways to actively manage their deer populations. One of the easiest ways to do this, to understand the count of the herd and whether or not that count is falling or on the rise, is to search for shed antlers.

Give Yourself an Edge

When evaluating properties and making recommendations to landowners, I am often confronted with a situation that is common to many older, well-established food plots. With the sunlight able to penetrate the edges have closed in over time, and are so thick with brush, blackberry, and many non-native species like Chinese privet, that it impedes whitetail deer and other wildlife from entering.

The Indiana DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife reports that lab tests failed to detect chronic wasting disease in any of the 1,031 tissue samples collected in 2012 from hunter-harvested whitetail deer.
