Road trip! Grant and the team return to an ongoing habitat improvement project in central Missouri. Through the years, we’ve shared many projects from this farm. See how the habitat and hunting has improved and find out what the next steps are to create great hunting for this landowner and his family. Plus, we share why we are seeing an increased number of spike bucks.

Q & A of the WEEK:
Question: Will the bucks I’m seeing now still be on my property during hunting season?
Answer: Bucks often shift within their home range as summer turns to fall. This may mean that they do not frequent an area as much during the fall as they did during the summer months. This can be influenced by, but not limited to, dominance/subordination, food sources, and individual buck characteristics.
