Stay Away from the Buck Until the Day You Plan to Take Him

with Justin Eakins We offer 5-day hunts, and during each 5-day hunt, a hunter can take a buck, a doe and a hog if they see one. When we’re talking about wildlife management, in many areas of the country, managing the hogs on your land has a direct effect on how many deer on the land you can hunt. The hogs compete with the deer for food, and deer just don’t like to be around

The Wind Is Your Master When Hunting Deer with Giles Island’s Jimmy Riley
