Increasing the Size of Your Food Plots Every Year

Because does are having fawns every year, and your food plots are pulling deer off other properties, you need to grow more food for the additional deer coming to your lands to eat. The other factor you have to consider is that if the deer you're pulling off other properties find food and sanctuary on your land, then they have no reason to leave after they find the food and sanctuary.

The Best Deer Management Is...

Any time we have land we’re planning to hunt, first, we survey the property and determine which portion of the property should be a sanctuary. After we have our sanctuary set-up, we plant green fields and/or crop fields where we can take bucks going into or out of the sanctuary. Sanctuary is the most-important factor in holding older-age-class deer.

Having More Bucks Than Does on Your Land

Before winter sets in, I estimate that we may have as few as six does living on our property. However, during the winter months, we may see as many as 40 does feeding in our standing bean and corn fields. For the majority of the year, I really believe we've got our buck-to-doe ratio as close as it can be to one buck and one doe. So, if there are 25 to 30 bucks on

A Great Way To Capture Late Season Bucks On Camera

Deer in the northern and Midwest part of the states are starting to wind down a little from the rut and move back into a little bit more of a seeking food pattern. For guys in the south, the season hasn’t even started to get good yet for the most part but deer are already feeling the early season hunting pressure. It can be pretty tough to get pictures of certain bucks you may be

Holding On To Bucks to Watch Them Grow

Illinois has the soil types and the agriculture and the deer genetics to produce big deer year-after-year. The management system we use to attract and hold mature bucks is working. We use Covert trail cameras to identify and keep up with the movement patterns of the bucks on our property. The main farm is 134 acres, and drainages run into some timber on the property, forming an island surrounded by agriculture, about 1/2-mile from the

Three States with Three Weapons

To be a good conservationist, in many areas, you have to harvest a certain number of deer - both bucks and does - to keep the deer herds in balance, since most of the natural predators that feed on deer have been removed. To accomplish this, I set up bucket lists for each method of hunting I enjoy. For instance, for bowhunting, my bucket list is to try and take a buck that will score

We Don’t Hunt Our Best Deer Stands until the Rut

In recent years, we’ve relied heavily on our trail cameras to create a hit list of the bucks we’re hoping to take on the properties we lease. However, we’ve discovered that the deer’s movement patterns seem to change more now than they ever have in the past. On some of the properties we hunt, our neighbors like to put their deer stands on the edges of the properties’ lines. I'm sure none of you have

Taking a White-Tailed Buck Scoring 156

The biggest buck I've ever taken scored in the mid-150s, and I took him in Kansas. I was hunting back in the late 1990s right after Thanksgiving. As I sat in my stand, I was starting to be concerned about getting back to my home in Missouri, which was about 1 hour and 45 minutes from where I was hunting. I'm the basketball coach for my two daughters’ basketball team.
