Hey Doug, thank you. Just keep trying new things, that one seemed to work? Hope you are having a great season.

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now and I’m compelled to say that I am all in on your property, your hunts, and family. You’re an inspiration and your humble. That’s the best part.

Thank you for the kind words, your comment is very humbling, and an encouragement to keep turning on the camera and putting it out there to hopefully help other people in some way. Hope you are having a great season. All the best to you.

Congratulations on a beautiful buck! I know a lot of work and money goes into getting things the way you want it. You've earned him.

Congratulations, Mark! Fun to see the payoff for all the hard work. I’m doing a lot of the same things to figure out what works best for us in Texas. Really appreciate you sharing your experiences, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been part of a tracking team a few times, lots of fun.

Hey Curt, thank you. Keep pushing your mind to think about your property, and where the issues lie and then figure out how to fix them. The process is fun, as I am sure you already know. All properties are different, and all property owner goals are different, so you have to keep at it to get into your "sweet spot". Hope you are having a great season. (and get some rain next season!).

Congratulations my good friend on a nice looking Buck

Thank you for the kind words. I was just telling someone that the planning might actually be more work than the physical part of executing the plan out on the property. Spend all winter thinking about improvements, researching, trying to find something on KZread to see if anyone else has tried it before etc. But like you said, when it all comes together.....priceless. Hope your habitat work is giving you guys a great season.

What a season! Congrats Mark! Albert

Hey Robert, thank you. Hope you are having a great season.

Awesome job Mark!!! i just got back in to town late this morning From 10 days of hunting & processing deer. We added two big does to the 8 point I shoot with the crossbow. My doe I shoot a week ago Sunday morning with 300BK AR-15, got her quartering away at the back of the ribs and exited base of the neck. she only went 50yds. and heard her crash! My bother hit his low in the chest and didn't give her time to die, he bumped her & we left her till morning. Him bumping her pushed 300yds from where he shot her, he used his black lab to help tract her down! They found her 30yds. out in the marsh. Bad chose, coyotes got at her & took almost the hole right rear leg, we salvaged the rest! All in all it was great time hunting & spending time with family!!!

Hey Keith, sounds like you guys had a great time, and congrats on all the deer harvested. Coyotes are brutal, I've seen them eating a deer alive right in our front yard before, so ugly. But glad you guys recovered her. All the best to you.

I like hunting the hills and valleys. Just do not like deer recovery. It's like a deer's last revenge on you for shooting them is to run down into the deepest ravine with the most jaggers. But that is why I have 2 sons 🤣 (Most of the time)@@theback40

Hey Greg, thanks. Had Jake Ehlinger out about five years ago. Those guys all do a great job making big changes to turn things around on your property, and give you the courage to make those changes, because sometimes it is extreme. You gave me an idea for a video topic, I'll give my feedback on consultants, thank you! Wish you all the best.
