Stands and Blinds
We hunt out of lock-ons, ladder stands, and elevated shooting blinds. Each hunter will have multiple stands to choose from for different wind directions as well as an elevated blind for the occasional rainy day. Some hunters bring climbers, but very seldom are they used. If you need to make a move, we can put one of our stands up for you.
Food Plots
All our farms have row crops planted on them, as well as multiple ponds and heavy cover for bedding. We have our hunters hunt over standing corn, standing beans, clover, alfalfa, turnips, and green patches. You might call it, the Midwest Buffett.
Management
We have a minimum of 130 gross P&Y, with a $1000 fine for any buck that does not meet the minimum. Button bucks are also bucks that do not score. This program has been in place for years. The exception to the rule, would be management bucks that we have pictures of that is mature, but does not score well.
We also monitor our doe populations and overall numbers. Some years we may kill two does per buck and other years, we try to kill one to one.
