The Three Sisters: An Exciting Old, New Approach to Food Plots

Friends, we are going to talk about something new, different and exciting today! I’m not going to discuss soil pH or cultivating techniques. We all know these things are important and are the basics in “farming 101,” but we are going to approach a new and dynamic way of not only planting food plots, but creating food plots that wildlife will be drawn to! What I’m saying is this… I’m going to throw a wrench

Creating Wild Turkey Hangouts

Jarrode E. Stephens Gamekeepers need to study the birds and understand the value of effective scouting. Ideally, anticipating the wild turkeys every move means success in the field. Understanding what turkeys want and then what your farm offers (or lacks) will help you discover ways to enhance your turkey habitat. Since turkeys prefer to travel in large numbers during much of the year, creating “social” areas for them to congregate makes sense if such areas

GameKeepers are Wildlife Managers, Not Just Hunters

Gamekeeping is not just for hunters, but for those who enjoy wildlife conservation and land management. It’s a way of life for people who just enjoy seeing wildlife, especially close to home. I don’t believe hunting and wildlife land management are opposite of each other. I really believe and know, at least in my house, they're the same philosophy.

Better Your Hunting Property for Sale

Improving land for wildlife can be an expensive proposition, especially if you plant fruit and nut trees, create green fields, create sanctuaries and bedding areas, and keep hunting pressure to a minimum. I have to know what the land buyer wants.

Small Food Plots Can Still Increase Wildlife

More and more hunters are beginning to learn that small properties - often as small as 5-10 acres or as much as 500 acres - can be great places to hunt, to own and to increase the wildlife living on that property.

Tips For Applying Grass Specific Herbicides

As winter winds down, some areas across the nation may have already started to see a few warm season weeds emerging. This is a sign that it may be time to start spraying your plots. This includes spraying perennial fields containing clovers, alfalfas, chicory and the like for grasses, as well as using non-selective herbicides for preparing fields for warm season annuals. Herbicide applications on weeds are much more effective when the target weeds are

Removing Predators, Increasing Deer and Turkeys

I don’t find many landowners who understand how many turkeys and deer fawns they can save by predator hunting on their properties. Here in Pennsylvania, we’re working hard to get our buck-to-doe ratio at a more balanced level. Our does usually start dropping fawns in April, and sometimes when we’ve been out mowing fields in July, we’ll jump up fairly young fawns then. So that tells us that the does in our region are dropping

Increasing Vegetation Through Prescribed Burns

We’ve had huge success with using fire to improve our game lands. We have one game land just outside of Philipsburg that we started burning sections on that property about 3-4 years ago. This year, one of our local hunters took a buck off that land that’s main beams were 24 inches wide and was an absolute monster buck to come off of public lands. That game land consists of about 9,000 acres. We usually
