Its that time of year and hunting season is just around the corner. Some states have already had their opening day. The picture are already being posted of the first velvet kills of the year. The anticipation can’t be much higher for those of us who still have a little time to wait. That being said we all know how much “fun” it is to be sitting in the stand with summer temps in the mid to upper 90’s and heat indexes over 100. This latest weather front has brought cooler fall like temperatures to many regions which is a blessing for many early season hunters.
We have been in full swing with our deer management this year and the results are defiantly showing. We have more quality mature bucks on our farm than we have ever seen and this will only be our third season hunting this property. The hard work we have put in has been worth it for sure. We have utilized Deer30 minerals again this year and started using the Deer30 Clock Stopper protein feed to supplement our deer. We have also planted new fall food plots using Spot On Food Plots seed blends and they are coming up nicely. It is our hope that all the sweat, blood, and money pays off with a well deserved successful hunting season. Last weekend we slipped in to the farms to clear out a few pre-hung stands, freshen up mineral sites and check trail cameras one last time before the season kicks off next weekend. The next time we head into the field with be with a bow in hand. Things are shaping up and our management plan seem to be coming together.
There’s been a lot going on over the summer for Jarvis Outdoors. We booked another trip to Western Kentucky to hunt with Tad Ladd again. This will be our sixth year hunting with him and we couldn’t be more excited. Jarvis Outdoors was excepted as Field Staff for ElimiShield HUNT products. This is a step in the right direction for us since we have been using their products for a few season and love how they work. We look forward to this partnership and the growth it brings to Jarvis Outdoors. We have also been working with a local company on some swag gear and should have hats, tees, and hoodies on the way shortly.
Jarvis Outdoors Pro Staffer Mike Leachman will be hitting the Kentucky Woods this weekend for the Kentucky archery Velvet opener. He has the bow dialed in and the trail camera intel to hopefully put him on a shooter in the next few days. We wish him and all the archery hunters heading out this weekend a safe and successful hunt. We will keep you posted as our season is set to open up in just over a week. Until then everyone get out in the woods and Stay Safe!!
