We believe that habitat is the key to Pheasant hunting, just as it is in the management of any wildlife. Since the fall of 2004 we have been focusing on managing our land to benefit the wildlife as well as the hunter.
In the spring of 2005 we dedicated 200 acres of the 500 acres we manage into native grasslands. By giving Pheasants a haven to live and rest in, many other species have also greatly benefited. Next we planted over a 1,000 trees and shrubs along a half mile stream in order to provide cover for Pheasants to access water and help improve the over all water quality.
As we moved into the spring of 2006 we planted 20 acres of fence rows and wind breaks that consist of over 1,000 evergreens and 5,000 shrubs. These fence rows play a vital part in Pheasants being able to "winter-over" and reproduce in the wild.
With each spring we have been adding more and different food plots as we learn what is more beneficial for the Pheasants and variety of other wildlife. We plan on planting close to 10 different food plots this spring with everything from Milo and Sunflowers to Corn and Soybeans.
We believe the key to quality hunting and wildlife truly is Habitat.
