And the Season Begins!

FINALLY! Deer season is here!

You may think it is all fun from here on out but fall is still a lot of work here at the C4. The main focus is getting the food plots prepared and planted. We plant oats that will grow throughout the winter but few people realize that the success of a good food plot in the SPRING depends on what we do in the fall. Fertilization and seeding of clover and chicory must be done properly in the FALL in order to have a thriving food plot in the SPRING.

Unfortunately, here in East Texas the best time to plant coincides with the opening of bow season so we spend a whole lot more time working than we do hunting but it is a long season and we have to pace ourselves.......so we spend a lot of time checking cameras and trying to pattern some of the bucks to be hunted once the rut heats up. Check out some of these bruisers:

We hope your season is going to be as good as ours!

We Hunt Too!

Its been a while since my last post because....WE HUNT TOO!

I have spent the last 8 days in Alberta, Canada bow hunting mule deer - glassing the countryside for a good mule deer buck and then executing a perfect stalk to move in close enough to release an arrow for a quick and humane kill is about as much fun as you can have on the planet earth!

Two weeks prior to that I was getting packed and prepared for the hunt and shooting everyday to make sure I was ready. Most shots are from 40 to 60 yards on spot and stalk mule deer so plenty of practice is a requirement. So, needless to say, I have been a bit pre-occupied as of late but I am back now and we are focused on getting the ranch ready for the upcoming deer season.

Now that I am back it is time to fertilize and lime to get the food plots ready for fall planting so we will be busy with that for a few weeks and we are also finishing the new day camp at the barn. We are making good progress on that and just have a few things left to get it finished for the season. I'll post some pictures soon - it is looking really awesome!

A quick reminder - we have a last minute all inclusive special price of $4995 for a hunt for a buck here on the C4 that will score between 150" and 160". All you have to have is your license - we will take care of the rest. And to make it even better - if you don't take the deer you are after then you can come back later in the season and try again at no extra charge!
