The meat seems to

Fishing Secondary Points for Summertime Bass

The first place I’d look for bass this time of year, anywhere in the country, is on secondary points. Bass move onto and off of secondary points, and I like to try to catch bass coming to me from both directions – deep water and shallow water. I especially like to fish a secondary point that has a steep drop-off into deep water on one side of the point. I’ll often look for a creek

Rewards of Managing Land for Wildlife as a GameKeeper

I took a nice buck with my bow last season that would score about 135 inches. The buck came in to within 15 yards of my stand. That’s the first deer we’ve harvested on property. That was a very neat feeling. I feel confident that our hunting only will get better as we continue to improve the land and the food for wildlife on it. I think the tree plantings will be a long-term source

Manage Invasive Plants for a Variety of Wildlife

Our section of Indiana has quite a bit of bush honeysuckle and wintercreeper – both invasive species. We believe that if we can get rid of much of those invasive species we can increase the variety of wildlife we have on our land. Honeysuckle isn’t a bad plant, until it becomes so thick that animals can’t move through it. It does have some value for wildlife; however, it’s a very aggressive growing plant that can
