I would definatly watch a 3 hour video of bill talking about how he managed his farm, who wouldn't want to see that? We could all gain a ton of knowledge, needless to say im excited for the next video!

I’m game to sit and watch him breakdown his reasons why he made certain improvements, I’m about 8 years into designing my dream property and it’s been a struggle.

I would as well.

it would be really cool if you did an in-depth episode on how you acquired the land (specifically) while working on an income budget.

I’d love to hear the whole story! Can’t imagine how hard it was to let that farm go.

Was anxiously awaiting this episode, and it didn't disappoint. I know you want to turn the page on this farm, but I think others will agree that we are interested in any other stories, circumstances, etc. on the sale of this great farm that you are comfortable sharing. Looking forward to the recollecting the great hunts you had on this farm next video. Lastly, very interested in hearing your real-time progress on finding your new farm. What you are looking for, what you are not looking for, size, layout, neighbors, water, etc. Could learn a lot from you through this process if you are willing to share. Thanks again Bill.

Bill, anything you’re willing to teach most of us are willing to learn. You can keep talking!!

I could listen to you all day Bill, by far the best show. I've been following Midwest Whitetail since the beginning and will until the end.

I don't know about anyone else but I actually like listening to your management side of things and how to improve areas and how to do that 👍👍 excited to see what the future lies ahead on your new property when you find it

This actually made me very sad to watch. To imagine how hard you worked and how proud you were of that farm is hard to watch. It brought incredible memories for you and us fans that have followed you for years. Good luck on finding your new hunting property. The wildlife could always use more people like you.

I respect your decision. You chose family over everything else. I am happy you found a lease.

Hi Bill. Very interesting history on your farm. I for one would love to hear you go more in depth on the land and herd management you did there over the years. I don't think many people realize just how much work it is to build a farm like you did. Thanks for the journey on your farm. I've been watching MWW since day 1 and you guys were the start of the semi live hunting format which is huge right now. Congrats on the move closer to your parents, a move you will undoubtedly never regret. Best of luck this season and make sure you keep contributing whenever you can haha!

This man is a walking plethora of whitetail management knowledge. You’re a living legend Bill!

Bill, I was not upset for one second watching this video. I enjoy listening to how you manage your property. Please don’t ever think we don’t want to hear that stuff.

Bill, I know you said you won't talk about it again. We respect that. But, man there is a lot of knowledge that we could gain from you past experiences grooming a farm. Could this be something you do on you daily blogs with like a Go Pro.... I think it would be well received my many.... I would be willing to listen to what you have touched on this video for hours. Maybe.... or could you take a poll on it? Thanks

I get it but I’m still in shock. I can’t imagine how you must feel, even though you are doing what’s best for you and your family. The immense connection you have to that farm must be heart wrenching to leave. I could listen to hours of your farm’s history and what you did and learned there. Best of luck with the next chapter, what a great story the last 18 years has been.

Your montage of the hunts over the years are fantastic, great job! You are absolutely correct about the memories made with the children. I am from Maine, we have great deer and I have been fortunate over the last 50 years to take some nice deer. As you stated, my most memorable moments are when my two daughters at the age of 10 and 12 started harvesting deer, mostly on youth day. We don't have the deer you do but we all share the same passion. I am think after watching all your series on KZread I need to haul my camper to Iowa for 10 days or so😂. God bless you and your family and for keeping the hunting heritage alive!

Wow!! What an awesome story in growth!! Dream big is true Bill. I went from 40 acres to 350 all wrapped around the original family homestead from 1880 in Michigan's UP. Great story, good luck on the next one. Joe

Bill...You did a GREAT JOB with that farm...Congrats...Pray the The Good Lord LEADS you to "The Right Piece of Property" you're looking for...My Best to you and yours!!!

Miss your daily updates Mr Winked hope all is well with you and the family..God bless!

I have been following you for 20 years. I first started reading your writings in magazines. I was trying to remember if you ever had articles in Whitetail Hunting Strategies Magazine that’s going way back in time. Anyway, I just want to Thank you for the informative writings and all you have taught us over the years. I will miss seeing you hunting that great farm. Much success on your next Whitetail endeavors!

Thanks again Bill for all of the awesome work and great videos from you and the entire midwest whitetail team. Watching this video was kind of sad for me but I know you will move on to better things and Family is the most important. David Lewis from Ohio

You can talk about it as much as you want. I’m kind of sad you let it go, but I’m looking forward to following your new ventures. Good luck. I enjoyed this episode.

Bill, it's sad to see this property go, but I have great respect for you wanting to be closer to family. The thing I'm excited most about going forward is you will aquire a new property, and when you do, we all get to come along and watch you develope and turn it into something amazing. That's what I'm excited about. Thanks again for a great show!

What county was this farm in,just curious?

I can listen to you all day! Thanks for the video! Best of luck this season!!

I’m still astonished how you don’t have 1 mil subscribers. What a gentleman, hunter, and conservationist. Hope you spend that money wisely and get another paradise going.

thanks Bill, for all those videos and knowledge you share over the years on that awesome farm. love your show!!!

Good video and thanks for the History of your farm and we look forward to your new farm purchase.

Great episode, thanks Bill. Shows where your heart is at when you talk about giving back. May god continue to bless you and your family. #AlwaysDreamBig!!

Hey Bill, thanks for all the great hunts on that farm, hopefully you have many more wherever you hunt in the future and you can share them with all of us on Mondays. I’ve been watching the show for about 10 years now, definitely must see TV. Thanks again Bill and the MWWT crew for all you guys do. Best of luck and God Bless.

One of the best episode I’ve watched, explained so well and every point was great and interesting to listen to! Sad you left your farm but where a good story ends a better one begins!

Thanks for all that you’ve done for everyone and hunting! Wishing you the best on your next journey!! Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing this, Bill. You always have been my hunting role model and I'd love to listen more! Can't wait for you to take us all through the next chapter as you move forward. God bless!

Thank you for sharing Bill. It’s great to listen to your wisdom and live somewhat vicariously through your experiences.

Thanks, Bill. I sure hope everyone else enjoyed that as much as I did. I'm 34 and my Mom and Dad first subscribed to North American Whitetail in 1992 or 1993. I've admired and honestly envied what you guys do since I was 8years old. Thanks again.

Awesome dedication you put into that farm bill, hope you have a great season on new ground!

Wow. Going to miss the Winke Farm and all that footage. Good luck rebooting and getting your whitetail property back Bill

I always learn so much from your episodes. I could listen for hours. Good luck at your new property sir and I can't wait to see what's next!!!

Thanks Bill!!! I’m always learning something new when I watch Midwest Whitetail! This is by far my favorite hunting show to watch. Hopefully one day I’ll get to meet you and the crew. Thank you, and God bless you and your family!

I wasn’t expecting this. You were the first youtube channel I started watching years ago, and I enjoyed watching you and your family grow along with the farm. You are definitely a pioneer in the hunting industry that a lot of people look up to and respect. Congratulations on this new chapter in your lives.

Thanks for sharing, Bill. Best of luck finding your next farm and your next project!

Man. I can’t imagine letting something like that go. I gotta say thank you though Bill. You always answered my questions with enthusiasm and care. I have had our farm since 1997. The place becomes part of you. I genuinely hope ya find a place that ends up as special as that one. Take care

Very good knowledge right there! I can learn a whole lot about deer management, just by listening to him. To me, it never gets old.

Fantastic video! Really enjoyed it and appreciate you putting this together. Selling your farm and moving closer to "home" really says something for your character and respect for your parents. Onto the next one!

Bill u are the best deer Hunter I know u describe everything to the point. Awesome job brother keep the big bucks coming in.

Never stepped foot on it, but you always made us feel like we were right there with you for all these years. I will miss "death ridge" the most. Best of luck Bill.

I commend the fact you want to be with and closer to family. Moving on is tough, but the right thing when your mind is made up. Good luck with the new areas you work on and your new house/farm. I’ll be watching either way!! All the best, Bill.

As always, great stuff Bill! I love your drive and it motivates me every year to dive in on new projects. I don't know how you managed to accomplish so much in that amount of time. I can't wait to see the new adventures.

Appreciate the peak behind the curtain Bill. Lots of respect for you.

Loved the video! Bill you are my favorite person to watch on this show. Please keep the awesome videos coming. And I agree with the other comments. We could definitely learn a lot from you and this process. God Bless Bill! 🙏🏻

Not sure how or why any hunter would tire of hearing this great story and/or the information provided. Thanks for sharing Bill and best of luck moving forward.

Midwest whitetail is my favorite hunting show and I always enjoy watching your hunts Bill. I know you will find the right property and we'll be watching you smoke some giants on that property too. Keep doing what you do best! 🏹

Good to see you back. Can't wait to see what you do with the new lease.

Great video...I know that you can do it again back close to home. Thanks for doing these for us.

Very good informative video. Like some of the other comments on here, I could listen and watch for hours about all the stuff he has done to his property and helped out his neighbors.

Bill, as far as me and my hunting friends you can't speak enough about your success and strategies. Your show has greatly contributed to my success as a hunter and the way I look at hunting in general! I am looking forward to seeing your plans in the future so thanks for all of your advice and hard work !!

I truly enjoyed your shop...your quiet thoughtful approach to deer hunting with archery tackle. So,so many hunting shows are full of inflated egos and drivel. Thank you so much! I can only imagine how hard your decision must of been. But your right... the past is the past and great thing lie ahead for you...I look forward to you sharing them. Thank you again!

Bill you didn't bore me, please keep talking about how you made it happen! Got me thinking about where all the 21/2 yr. olds are I keep passing only to rarely see them the next year! I must have too many Does, and too clean a farm.

I was a kid when i started watching you Bill. I now strive to have my own place to learn and grow... Theres a group of guys in my home town sharing a large farm that think they are the Bee’s knees... yet “Never Kill Does” and almost exclusively gun hunt. I am sure you could humble them Even in the most casual of conversations. cheers

Could definitely listen to hours of you talking about your farm and the whole process! Thanks bill

This is great stuff, Bill. Really appreciate the insight to your property management. I hope one day I can hear more! I know it’s got to be hard, but you have opened up a new chapter in your life. I wish you the best with your future endeavors. I’ll be tuning in as long as you’re around sharing your stories. Best, Sam Jones

Man i cant imagine owning a huge paradise like that and somehow muster up the courage to sell it.. But i know what that land goes for so that check is probably looking good anyhow good luck with your search for a new paradise!

Well Bill, I think you should do you like I’ve done this year, I have no leases, I’m hunting only public access Lands. But I’ve gone to a saddle hunting system, and I have to tell you I really really love it. I can adjust wherever I am hunting based on the wind. I can go in anywhere it’s light, I can get down and take everything with me, as quiet as a squirrel. It is really back to actually hunting, no sitting over food plots just scouting and finding trails areas where the deer have to go because the terrain features the water. Every day is a new hunt.

Congrats on your journey and choosing to be close to your family, very respectful!

Bill, thank you for sharing your story in how you ended up selling your farm. I'm sure the new owner will realize what a great farm they have. Hopefully you find a new one soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed that video. What a fascinating story and a wealth of valuable insight and knowledge. I look forward to following along on the next chapter as you learn a new lease and shop for your next property.

Thanks so much Mr. Winke...what a great video...and this really is the kind of content that makes Midwest Whitetail stand out from other shows within the genre. I sure would love a book with photos and maps where you elaborate on the evolution of your farm. The wealth of knowledge you could pass on to others who want to take on habitat projects and improve their land for wildlife would be a compelling lesson.

No need to rush away from this topic, Bill. I think a lot of people here learn a great deal with what you did on that farm. Best wishes in finding another farm you can manage. From the looks of it, NE Iowa is a beautiful place, with a more challenging topography. Looking forward to seeing how you approach it.

Bill I enjoyed you talking about it...Lol!! It helped make ya who you are today!!

It's more about you and what you do than it is where. Love your stuff and look forward to new adventures.

Best of luck on the next piece, Bill! Thanks for sharing, and good luck on the lease for this year!

I just want to thank you for all the hard work and years you and yours put into that farm. It's amazing and I know some of the successful guys you put through there feel the same. Onward and upward. God has that plan for you. Always dream big

Awesome episode! I really enjoyed hearing the breakdown on that farm and I'm looking forward to the next episode! I'm gonna miss following your hunts on that property Bill

I like the story. A lot of blood sweat and tears go into property good luck this season

You will be missed in the area Bill, Thank you for sharing your knowledge all these years.

This was far from boring. I always knew that was a lot more to the backstory than what we saw, but this was even better than expected. Feel free to do a few hours of in-depth breakdown of the whole process. I’ll be all ears.

You’ve mastered your techniques. I’d like to see some ground hunting. Drop the treehouses , ozonics and get back to basics.

Wow! huge and shocking news! It's going to be fun to follow you to your search for a new spot and the development process. Best wishes and may God bless your new endeavors! I'll be following.

I didn’t skip 10 seconds of this . Watched every bit of it .. this was awesome

Bill, you leave a very big pair of shoes to fill. Good luck in your new direction. Have been a fan of your writings from your beginning, looking forward to more.

I really enjoy and appreciate tips on what works for you guys.. And its something I can apply to land ..

Love the show and have been a huge fan since day one! I contribute a lot of my success to MW! Hope you find what you want in NE Iowa, and I understand the move, family is very important! We have around 2000 acres tied up in Richland County WI if you ever need a place to get away,(only an hour east of Marquette). A lot of good deer running around and great cabin to crash for a week as well! Thanks for all your years of dedication to the sport!

Great Story Bill! Everything happens for reason and you have to do what’s best for you and your family!

I have really enjoyed being able to watch and learn from you different methods of deer management and to feel like we were along for the ride on your journey building such a premier piece of hunting ground. I wish you the best on your future endeavors and think it is so awesome that you give God credit for working in your life along side of you to put that property together!

I really enjoyed following your hunts on this farm bill. I was actually able to locate your farm on google maps and was intrigued by where some of your stands were like ole reliable and death ridge. Our terrain here in east central Illinois is very similar and I feel like I learned a lot from your show, especially when you would pull out the maps. Look forward to watching you in action in northeast Iowa, good luck finding a good farm to purchase.

Awesome episode. Love to here more about that story. Good luck on your future endeavors.

Man, we all just don’t even know how many man hours of labor went in to that farm over the past 18yrs!!! Excited to see what God has in store for y’all now. Thanks for all the knowledge you share with us about your learning experience from that farm.

Great episode Would love to hear more A lot of great videos put out of that place Congratulations on your sale Good luck in the new place

Good luck on the new adventure Bill, you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes, i'm also a big believer in change, it's good for the soul.

Wow thats awesome ya sold it and good reasoning brother! But it'll be missed by myself loved the videos 📹 from that piece, ya did a great job with all your implements. NOW its on to the next one though Bill im excited to see the improvements and everything ya do to this farm. Good luck to you this year and God bless

Love the open history book on that farm. That was some unbelievable management!

I look forward to watching you hunt and develop your next farm.

Great video thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed more of the back ground stuff

Thanks Bill...really enjoy your series and this episode

Hi Bill...good luck...the best is yet to come my friend

Also I would love to see a whole episode devoted to all the improvements necessary to create a farm like you did

Sad to see the farm sold but hope it leads to bigger and better things.

Super interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing. I'm guessing it's very difficult to open up to the viewers yet maintain your privacy. For what it's worth, I think you did a great job letting us peek into the more family side of your business. I wish you and your family the best as you start over back home. As always looking forward to future episodes.

You seem like a really good guy / hunter. We need a lot more hunters like you in the south. Your a true man of conservation of the outdoors.

Awesome info genius! Really cool to hear and see people doing land management and conservation!😊👊🏾

If you wrote a book about everything with the old farm I would definitely read it. Great stories, great management, etc. Looking forward to where things go from here for you Bill.
