Deer Habitat in a Squirt Bottle part 1:
Add Great Deer Habitat by Subtracting

If we ask you to imagine going outside today and creating some great deer habitat, what do you picture? Did you think of something you could add, like seeds or trees you can plant? Let’s be honest, adding things is what most of us think of first. But we’ve come to realize that great deer habitat can also be made by subtracting. Here’s how.

Mature Buck Harvest Sets a New National Record According to NDA’s 2021 Deer Report

New Coffee That Gives Money Back: November Dawn

We are proud to announce a new partnership with Big Game Brew that will give 50% of the profits directly back to the National Deer Association. Check out November Dawn and grab a bag or two. This dark roast is there to fuel all that goes into that crisp fall morning when the rut is on. Everyone can take extra pride knowing that November Dawn will also help fund our efforts to make sure this yearly cycle continues for generations. The small batch coffee roaster is based in South Carolina and has a full lineup of coffee with excellent taste ratings and unprecedented quality and freshness.

Age This!

Last week’s Tennessee buck is a classic example of what is very likely a 3½-year-old buck, and 64% of respondents recognized it. He is a buck in his adult prime. Muscular and athletic, yet still slender and sleek. His back and stomach are flat, and his legs still somewhat “long” for his body, but he is heavily muscled in his neck and shoulders. Though thick, his neck still does not quite flow into his brisket without a break. He has the classic “front-heavy” or “buffalo” appearance of a 3½-year-old.
