Happy Easter afternoon everyone. I just wanted to drop a quick line and let you know that improved wildlife habitat has again played a key role in a hunting success. My friend Harvey was fortunate enough to harvest his first gobbler Saturday morning. There’s nothing more exciting than experiencing someone’s first turkey, to say the least he was ecstatic.
I’ve seen a ton of turkeys this year on our hunting property, in fact, dozens more than the last four years. I attribute the increased turkey population to several land management practices we’ve implemented. During the last three years we’ve burned a third of the property per year and have started using aerial herbicides to kill off unwanted undergrowth the fires didn’t kill. We’ve also enlarged our wildlife openings, or food plots, to create more area where the birds can feel safe while they feed.
Life’s good, hope you’re having a great Easter Sunday and a wonderful spring.
Let me know what’s working for you in the woods, and stay safe.
Brian
