GameKeeper’s Early Season Advantage

FieldNotes5.24.17_hdr

Have you ever had a good buck patterned all summer long, and just needed a killer food plot to hunt over during the early archery season? We’ve all been there, and sometimes our early season food plots are still waiting on some rain to get up and going to have something to hunt over. A spring/early summer planting of BioLogics new Wildlife Sweet Corn could be what gives you that early season advantage. With high sugar content and great attraction, Wildlife Sweet Corn typically gets utilized by deer much earlier than typical row crop varieties and can be planted for a fraction of the cost. These heirloom varieties of corn are time tested for drought and heat resistance and are great for all wildlife, and ideal for deer and waterfowl. Check out our latest video on how you can broadcast plant BioLogic’s Wildlife Sweet Corn economically and without specialized equipment.

A GameKeeper by definition is someone who truly loves AND lives the land, the critters and nature…not just during hunting season but all the time. A GameKeeper wants to be outdoors every day and work the dirt while living their personal “obsession”.

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
