DEER THUG Justin Eakins Tells How He Raises and Manages for Mature Bucks

After the season, we plant some milo in May and June to give the deer and turkeys an early summer and through-the-summer crop on which they can feed. But our main planting occurs in September when we plant our winter wheat. We also start getting our stand sites ready for the early season and the late season, just after we get our wheat in the ground.

How We Manage Our Deer Herd to Produce Great Hunter Success

As I’ve mentioned earlier, to provide the best late season hunting, you have to manage the number of hunters you have on the property. This relates to the amount of hunting pressure that you put on your deer. You have to constantly monitor your deer herd and make management decisions based on a 4-year plan. At Canadian River Hilton Hunting Lodge, we manage our deer herd to produce 4-1/2-year old bucks.

Chris Kirby on How to Bow Hunt Late Season Bucks

Wild apple trees are my favorite food source to hunt over, because apples fall on top of the snow, they're very tasty for the deer to eat, and we can purchase a wide variety of apple trees from the Mossy Oak Nativ Nurseries. Upstate New York has a lot of wild apples for us to hunt over. However, if you live in an area where you don’t have wild apples, check with the folks at
