 The best we can provide in a website is a series of pictures that show the value that our agricultural region provides to deer hunting. That greatest value is food.

Waste corn and soybean pictured the first week in January. Land use heavy in agriculture and limited winter snow cover makes much food availability to grow big deer and racks. That big whitetail aspect is not just in terms of rack size alone. Bigger body doe during gestation and at fawning allows for bigger, healthier fawns to grow into those bigger bodies and racks.

Add to the food availability is cover habitat in the form of wooded creek bottoms connecting many small wood patches with each capable of holding deer. The tree cover cutting through crop fields makes for the right combination of close area water, food and protective cover.

The foreground is weeds along the creek bottom, middle is a corn field and far ground is a small wood patch on a ridge above a creek bottom farther back, out of sight.

Capturing deer in a picture is tough to do when looking over potential lease land. Finding physical deer sign always easier.

A comment common to big woods state hunters that hunt the central mid-west agricultural region is how much easier it is to pattern movement. Our wooded creek lines, long running fences and isolated wood patches canalize movement while big woods diffuse movement. These trails are all on the same lease along the same creek.

When winter snows do come they are light by most standards and short lived as our typical winters are a series of cold and warm periods that prevents accumulation of deep snows.

From a winter land run showing typical snowfall. This one lasted for a couple of days before temperatures returned to he 40's.

 

Our deer hunting biggest challenge is there are a lot of wooded creek bottoms connecting many small wood patches that repeat many times over within a small area and repeated again for the region. The deer hunter is left with many options and must pick one stand at a time while that trophy Whitetail Deer has a million options. True fair chase deer hunting.
