Rockin G Ranch Hunting Season Pictures

[gizmo]

Well clients left this morning so this afternoon I had the oppurtunity to climb up in a bow stand and do a little archery hunting.

Explains why you have to fill that feeder weekly.

Explains why you have to fill that feeder weekly.

Royal those are 1 ton dualy feeders. They hold 1500lbs of protien feed (custom blend from our feed supplier to provide all the nutritional requirements of deer) which is fed year round on a free choice bases. They can eat as much as they like anytime they want. It also holds 500lbs of corn which is broadcast twice a day for extra calories and an attractant year round. There are 7 of those feeders across the ranch which we have to refill every other month from sept through to April. Typically we only have to fill them once throughout the summer as consumption goes down as result of native forage blooms. Additionally there is 330 acres of high quality food plots planted yearly. There is also 3 hog specific feeders with a special homemade hog concoction I mix set infront of bow stands. We go through a lot of feed but investing in the health of the herd pays big dividends when deer season comes around. It also keeps our deer healthy during droughts.

Gizmo, very true.

Yes it is but we've significantly dried out up here over the last couple of months. They're talking rain this week so keep your fingers crossed. Soon as we planted our food plots we got some great rain but none since. Everything is starting to burn up. If we get some good rain and the temps can cool off we'll be in good shape. We've been seeing some spectacular deer so far this year.

Nice to see some exotic rams with a full curl and plus. I guess many are shot off at some places before they reach their genetic potential. I like how you have some that look to be well matured. Very nice trophies.

 

[gizmo]

We try very hard to only shoot mature animals.
