Improve Your Seeding, Improve Your Plot

The “Crown of Bone”

Summer is here and antler growth is in full swing. We often forget about the nutritional requirements required by whitetail deer during the dog days of summer. June –August is typically one of the most stressful times on whitetail deer due both heat and the increased nutrient demands of antler growth on bucks and lactation on doe.

Pat Reeve Wasn’t Scared - He Was Terrified on His Dream Dall Sheep Hunt

On our Alaskan Dall sheep hunt after climbing high, we finally had spotted a Dall sheep ram that possibly was a legal shooter. To get to that ram, we had to climb further up a steep mountain over jagged and loose rocks. We came to a waterfall that made the rocky terrain wet and even-more dangerous to climb. Next we encountered a sheer rock face that we couldn’t climb up.

Pat and Nicole Reeve Hunt Big Game

I have to admit I had an adrenaline rush when we approached the bear, and I noticed his huge claws that could have ripped me apart. The guide estimated that the bear weighed about 1,300 pounds. The bear’s hide squared just-over 9 feet, his skull scored 29 inches, and he made the Boone & Crockett record book.

Planting for Ducks

When planting for ducks, the main thing to remember is timing. Concentrate on planting millet, sorghum, corn and rice. Keep in mind that corn is probably the most expensive to grow, so guys on a budget should look to millet and sorghum. Here at BioLogic, we have a blend called Guide’s Choice, which is a very economical choice for duck planting.

Parrey Cremeans Talks Bear and Predator Hunting in California

We do quite a bit of predator hunting on our ranches, especially during the off-season. We’ve got tons of mountain lions, but we’re prohibited from hunting them. In 2012, we also lost bear hunting with hounds in California. Most people don’t realize it, but we have some of the biggest black bears in the nation.

Dove Field Planting

Doves, unlike a lot of other birds, rely almost exclusively on seeds for their diet. That being said, your millets, sorghum, sunflower and corn crops will be your most popular dove attractants. The key is planting these crops in different stages throughout the growing season so that if you don’t get enough rain for a corn crop, your millet and sorghum may still produce.
