Patience Pays Off - We've all heard "stay in the stand", but it can be hard to do. A picture is worth a thousand words. Above was a deer taken after sitting in the stand for 12 hours. So my tip is get comfortable, take some food and something to drink and hang in there.

Ruff Summer - All signs are pointing to it being a good dear season for hunters and a bad summer, fall, and winter for deer. Because of the late frost and high heat the deer will not have as much to eat, which means the deer will have to move more for food and will not be as healthy come winter. The low rainfall and heat WILL affect the mast production of trees. Think about suppementing your herd.

Happy New Year - With deer season coming to a close, I hope everyone had a great year. Remember to send those photos from you trophy this year and continue to take care of your deer. Just because your not hunting does not mean that your deer herd stops eating and needing minerals.

Safety and Turkey Hunting - Please remember since you are going to be in woods trying to sound like a turkey not to look like one. Never wear red or blue and never shoot unless you are sure that it is a turkey.

Scouting with Trail Cams - Using trail cameras can help you see what's going on when you are not around. Plus the excitement of waiting to see what's on the film. To see more check out my "Bloodworth Valley"
