"...We had another great season. Mike shot a monster we never recovered...a true heartbreaker. He only hunted 3 total hours for deer and settled for this young buck at last light...Pheasant were excellent and we actually shot more quail than pheasant. Probably just dumb luck:-)... "


Congratulations Mike! Always great to see happy faces. Thanks Steve for the pictures even when things do not always go well.
Land
The ever continuing task of lease renewal and potential lease land scouting. Just highlighting one piece of one contract we looked at last winter and the contract just came to pass recently.
Attached is a live photo of a bachelor flock of winter toms feeding on a corn stubble field.

From an aerial view this farm seems open which is misleading since a combination of narrow timbered tree lines, filter strips and wasteland provide all of the elements required for quality hunting deer, turkey and quail.

Upland
We can all use a reminder of how it was and how it will be again.

Thanks to Don.
