190" Buck In Timber Country: The Story of Donuts

This is the story of a giant buck on our home dirt and how he went from a mediocre 3.5 year old buck to a world class stud. Over the course of time many hunters have encounters of pictures on trail cameras of a large buck that haunts their dreams and is talked about for seasons to come. This is a podcast devoted to a buck we called "Donuts," and the story about his life and what we can all learn from his pattern, growth, and habitat management around his home range. Keep in mind this buck lived on a property that Chad and Adam have managed for years, and just two years before Donuts was 3.5 years old there wasn't a single buck living on the farm over 4.5 years old on a total of 900 acres. This isn't known to be a big buck area, this is a vast landscape of poor habitat and low quality deer hunting. The Keith brothers have set out to try and improve the habitat and see just what happens to the deer herd, so far it seems to be working! After a large timber harvest and prescribed fire the place is beginning to turn around, but with less the 25% of the overall work being done on the farm it's safe to say we're only at the beginning. Listen up to hear the story of a buck that should encourage us all to look past the food plots and begin to manage the entire landscape. #ForloveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast
