Kentucky Lake Hunting - Snipe Creek Lodge

2010 Spring Food Plot/Wildlife Management Field Work

After 20 plus years of planting and maintaining numerous food plots in this region, Snipe Creek Properties has vastly improved the Western Kentucky deer herd. Due to our Snipe Creek Quality Deer Management Program, the deer herds have become "imprinted" and are "hooked" on the best food sources available. We exclusively hunt 3½+ year old, 130"+ bucks and are working in cooperation with local landowners to improve the herd for all of Western Kentucky. Proof can be seen in our post-season 2010 trail cam photos.

(April 8, 2010) I am seeing 5-20 deer in each and every food plot on Snipe Creeks Properties on a daily/evening basis. These deer are being "imprinted" to the best food sources in the area. Many herds of deer are "hooked' on the most nutritious food available in a 5 mile square. Snipe Creek Properties is literally repositioning and manipulating massive number of deer to our Western Kentucky deer hunt properties.

(March 31, 2010) 70+ food plots were fertilized 4 weeks ago. The plots have exploded from the fertilizer and is providing a high nutrient base food source that will bode well for our fall hunts. Additionally these highly desired food sources are pulling many herds of deer onto Snipe Creeks hunt properties. These deer will remain with the "groceries" for our fall Kentucky deer hunts.

(February 26, 2010) I am pulling soil samples from over 70 food plots. Today I found clover starting to burst out of its winter dormancy. Also it was most apparent, that deer have started ravaging this fresh young highly nutritious food source.

Most does will be about 3 months into their 7 month gestation. These pregnant does eating this 25% protein diet will bear fawns that have a huge jump start to life and turn into 120" in 2 years and 140" at age 3 ½.

The Kentucky deer on Snipe Creek Hunt Properties have benefited for 15 years from my management program. Evidence of Snipe Creeks 15 year program is seen in the post season, 2010 trail cam pics, and the 2009 velvet trail cams.

The high density of documented 130"+ quality and healthy bucks ensures you a spectacular Western Kentucky deer hunt.
