Supplemental Significance

Providing nutrition the entire year-round for your whitetail herd is very important. Insufficient nutrition levels leads to weight loss, poor conception rates, lower fawn recruitment, increased vulnerability to disease…and where it counts to some gamekeepers most - poor antler development and increased mortality rates. Food plots are extremely important, but many managers have a difficult time supplying food plot forage during the winter months in the north, or in areas where you simply cannot supply

Dana Wall’s Experience with Alligators

When Chad originally told me that his granddad had started an alligator farm and that both he and his dad worked at the farm, I thought that was the craziest thing I ever had heard. I didn’t know anybody farmed alligators. After I learned more about it, I realized alligator farming was really neat. Since I had no experience in alligator farming, I was intrigued. The more I learned about it, the more exciting and

It's been over 3 years and I am still enamored with the farm. Working there calms my soul and slows my spinning world. It energizes me and fills me with inspiration. The fields are beautifully producing a variety of nutritious wildlife forage. Every day I see deer and turkey prospering from the bountiful table that is set just for them. These are animals that Quit never imagined might someday share the same spring water as

Prospecting for Plant Personality

This past growing season I had the educational, entertaining opportunity to oversee some work at one of our research farms in Mississippi. We test for many different things, searching for the best possible plants and products to bring to market. It makes a great opportunity to become a better hunter by learning more and being privy to some of the industry’s cutting edge technology. This past summer we had one particular five acre test plot

Mosquito Fern: A Small Floating Red Plant in Your Pond

Mosquito fern is not often a problem in ponds, but it can become a problem in some wind-sheltered areas. If you see a small, red, floating plant on your pond, you will know what it is. It can be controlled by contact herbicides containing Diquat or other herbicides that are absorbed from the water. Check with your biologist or a certified aquatic applicator for treatment options.

Fisherman love to fish around structure, particularly structure that is visible such as stumps, blown down trees and grass beds. Aquatic vegetation in the form of grass beds can sometimes go from being the fisherman’s friend by providing cover to harming the fishery by almost completely taking over the lake.

Fawns Best Left in the Wild

Most wild mammals, including fawns, are protected under the law and may not be legally taken from the wild or kept as pets. In the vast majority of instances, fawns will be just fine if left alone. Fawns are difficult animals to rear in captivity and have the greatest chance for survival if left alone in their native habitat.
