Whitetails at Bollingbrook

While my days in the field have been limited, they have been productive. On the 6th of Decemeber a mature 8 point stepped into our south field to freshen the scrapes he had established weeks earlier. As I saw him, I was reminded of the story of the 8 point my father had seen one one year earlier. This was the same buck, undoubtly. He had not grown and it was obvious this deer was maxed out. At 150 yards my model 700 30-06 found both lungs and the old buck was anchored to the ground. Hopefully, this is not the largesat buck harvested at the farm this year, but if it is the season will still be considered a success.

Spring Creek Co-Op

I am really excited about the recent develops in Early County Georgia. A couple of weeks ago while visiting with our neighbors I learned about a group interested in promoting Quaility Deer Management in our area by way of a cooperative among landowners. The name of the group is Spring Creek Cooperative, and I am proud to report that Bollingbrook Plantation is now a member.

The group's goal is to promote a quality deer heard within the Spring Creek/Early County Area by taking only mature bucks ( 4 1/2 years or older) and controlling the doe population in order to have a more equal ratio. I think this is really going to improve the hunting for us and everyone else in the area. Its also easy for us because we have been practicing QDM since we bought our farm.
