Management doe hunt...

Just signed up, thanks

I see does every hunt... lots of them. I'd offer you to come hunt but every time I go to the stand saying "I think I'll shoot a doe today" I see 10 bucks and ZERO does...

It's like they know.

I've got no problem with shooting a buck either...

shoot me an email so we can talk.

No. My family has 2400 acres in Port Gibson. We don't deer hunt as much as we used to. (kids, college, marriages, life, Obama, etc). We used to kill 40-50 does and 40-50 hogs a year, on top of our buck kill. This year we've killed something like 8 does and 3 hogs.

I want to do an improvement to our camp. Basically install an outdoor kitchen. So I was thinking about selling some deer and hog hunts to raise $10,000 - $15,000 or so to put towards that project.

My father spends Jan 1 - May 15th at his home in S Florida. So the idea is to get the project done for him as a surprise when he gets back in town.

A buddy of mine in the metal roofing business who hunts with us is gonna donate the metal roof and trusses. I have a sawmill that is gonna custom cut the decking and all the lumber. But I still need to raise some money for labor and appliances, etc.

So, that's what I am thinking.

Ever been to Port Gibson?

Not trying to be sarcastic, but, Yes.

We killed 50 a year for year after year. Basically had no effect on the number of deer we saw or the quality of bucks we killed. So we got tired of it and basically quit shooting does. Unless someone needed one for meat.

We all prefer to eat the hogs over the deer. So that has cut down on our doe shooting too. Also, my sister has 3 boys who are now in their late teens (15-19). When they were 10-14 they were killing 6-8 does apiece each year. Now, they kill one or two with their bow. And other than that they want to hunt trophy bucks.

I appreciate the offer. But that's not really what I am trying to accomplish. I have donated a bunch of hunts to charity. And Wounded Warriors, etc. I have probably had 20-30 kids kill their first deer on the place. Maybe more than that.

But for this situation I am just trying to raise enough money to install this outdoor deck, fireplace, and kitchen as a surprise for my father. I don't really run a guide service. I am just gonna try to sell two weekends in January for a group of guys to kill some deer/hogs and have a good time.
