It is getting closer....

It is getting closer everyday and will be here soon. Hopefully everyone is starting to shoot their bows as the early doe season is less than a month away. This weekend sure felt like it was October already and got me thinking it is time. I was doing a little work for our annual meeting and thought I would share a few numbers.

We started seriously managing the property and keeping records in 1999, so this year will be our 10 year anniversary of full out Quality Deer Management. I can say we have come a long way in that time, from the quality of our bucks and deer to the quality and condition of our land. We have done some amazing things like Native Grass Plantings, Irrigation, and Timber Harvests that have greatly improved the natural value of the land. To date we have shot 99 BUCKS and 399 DOES off the property, I call that an achievement that will be hard to beat in West Michigan.
