Hey Guys - As the 2009 Kentucky Deer Season
is near, I have shifted my priority from T-Cams
to the "Hunt Plan". We will continue to get some
pictures of Kentucky velvet bucks, so keep
checking the site.
A lot of new properties have been leased and
added. I have started planting fall food plots
on these new properties. Additionally, I have
started the Fall maintenance of existing food
plots. With over 70 established plots, I will be
busy.
In this new section, "Fall Food Plots", I
will add pictures of Fall Field Work on a weekly
basis-so check back often!

Jason's sniper training adds an unduplicated
exactness to our Kentucky deer hunting stand
sets.

Me with broom corn - no, the deer do not eat
it - but they do enjoy the cover that it offers.
I also use it in long narrow strips leading to
food plots. That is for human cover.
The top left picture is a freshly clipped field
of young spring planted clover and chicory. Next
to the broom corn and in between the clover and
chicory plot, I will be planting fall wheat,
oats and winter peas.
A lot of past adrenaline has flowed at this
set/location. This is Kentucky deer hunting at
Snipe Creek Lodge.

Clover and chicory plots designed with
intermittent vegetative cover. This is
accomplished by clipping the tops of weeds early
in the summer and leaving some weeds. The
heavily nutrient enhanced (fertilizer) plot
becomes what you see by today (August 27, 2009).
Benefit: The big Kentucky bucks will use the
specially designed plots in light that is
friendly to the crosshairs on a scope!

Fertilized honeysuckle
March 1 - Applied 13-13-13 •
May 1 - Top-dressed with ammonia nitrate •
Aug. 27 - The result
Benefit: Deer in November and December will seek
this "spiked" historically fertilized
honeysuckle. I have taken many mature Kentucky
whitetails with this technique.
