The Early Bird Gets the Worm and the Buck

As I’ve mentioned yesterday, most public-land hunters want easy hunts. They’re more concerned about one or two extra hours of sleep than getting to their stands before daylight. If I know the woods will start to lighten-up at 7:00 am, I want to be in my stand by 5:00 am. I know that I’ll need 30 to 45 minutes to get from my truck to my stand site. So, I want to arrive at the

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

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.
