The month of July is ending. The crops are doing very well with the weekly rains. We have been scouting our soybean fields and the woods leading to and from bedding areas. We have our “deer cams” in various spots in the woods, gathering tons of information from the pictures. We have come accross a good ammount of deer with awsome headgear, still in velvet. Glassing our bean fields, we find deer grazing at all hours of the day. With the information we have gathered, we will be placing ladder stands in those travel routes, and feeding areas.

WOW!!!! We counted over 60+ deer yesterday afternoon. The swamps have frozen over, and with tempetures under 25 deg. at night, the deer are herding up. We saw groups of 18 to 25 deer in the fields. We saw four herds in various fields around 5:00 pm. One field had 40+ deer grazing, with another 20+ deer comming into the field. The swamps hold them … but when the swamps freeze over …. they are comming out. Hope to have pictures.

The deer season is over, but there is work already to be done for next year. Salt blocks are put back out. Scouting Cameras are placed in travel and bedding areas, to see who survived the season. Plans are made to purchase a “Food Plot Drill’ manufactured by Kasco. PH levels of the soil are tested in various parts of the farms that we manage. Lime will be placed, according to the PH numbers. Deer stands need to be checked, some need to be moved, and others need to be replaced. We will be ordering our seeds for various mixed receipes, to create the cafeteria for deer. April is not that far off to start planting.
