The public land ADVANTAGE
For about 3 years I hunted Management land locally with a longbow beings there are few public land bow hunters in Alabama. My uncle is President of the Trappers Association here and he changed the game drastically for me. I found a nice size, but not to big, white oak that was out of the way but not on any major deer trails and set up. The setup was, in the off season to take posthole diggers and make three large holes about 36” deep out at the edge of where the limbs stopped. Then take lime and fill each hole a third way up, next use cotton seed mill another third way up, and last use sulfur to top them off. The results are bigger, stronger, earlier falling, and a hole lot sweeter tasting acorns. Now the only problem is hiding your activities from other hunters and the new noticeable deer trails that will come. Tried, tested, and taxidermist approved.
