DEER HUNTING

They have implemented an intense management program to produce consistent trophy deer.  You can expect to see several bucks during the hunt and most all of the hunters have at least one opportunity at a buck that is big enough to scare you!  In the past they have had several bucks in the 30+ inch category.  In the hunt last year a young fellow took a good 27-inch buck that was so old he had no teeth whatsoever.  Several gentlemen have had opportunities and unfortunately have missed a couple of their bucks that were estimated to be over 30 inches.  They prefer to harvest deer that are twenty inches wide at a minimum.  Their management plan requires that they take only the biggest deer.
