1985 to 1995 over 10 different hunters hunting this area, never really saw any deer, does or bucks, the one or two bucks harvest during this time, broken antlers, small, thin basket racks.

1995 cutting food plots in with limb cutters, and limb saws, raking leaves to plant seeds, dragging tree tops by hand, using weedeaters, to chain saws, bulldozers, backhoe, atv’s, bushhogs, making food plots bigger and better, putting in good water source watering hole.

1998 started supplement feed during the summer

2000 started using homemade deer mineral.

It is always funny how when you talk to biologist about minerals for free roaming deer that they say that no scientific proof that it benefits the deer.

But you never here them say that there is no scientific proof that it doesn’t benefit the deer.

2003 I am very proud of what I have done and of everyone that has helped me with everything on this place, it has been hard work and well worth it and this is why. LIFE IS GOOD!

Mauser that is the homemade deer mineral I have been using for a few year now. I have seen a tremendous difference in the health and anlter size of the deer coming to it.
