Year Round Food Plot/Wildlife
Management Field Work
The impact of 100+ well
maintained and strategically placed rich and
nutritious food plots, combined with vast
habitat enhancement has changed the positioning,
travel routes, bedding areas and feeding zones
of most herds of deer in a 5 mile square. (Snipe
Creeks hunt zone)
Each summer, it is ubiquitous to see
herds of 10-20 bucks in every bean field around
and on Snipe Creek's Properties. Most often half
of said bucks are 3.5 and older with 130-175
inch racks. When the green fields dry, most
all the bucks head for another known food
sources - food sources on Snipe Creek
Properties. Deer season comes and out of
town hunters looking for a Kentucky deer hunt
get their moneys worth. Snipe Creek Properties
consistently puts the smack down on a lot of big Western
Kentucky deer (bucks).
Every summer there seems to be even more and
bigger deer in those visible green soybean
fields. Again as the beans turn yellow and waxy
those big bucks will b-line it to their known
food sources on Snipe Creek Properties. 2012
will be another record season at Snipe Creek
Properties.
Consistently successful Western Kentucky deer
hunts are strongly correlated to food source and
habitat improvements. Hunt plans that consider
such improvements will offer what any hunter
seeks. A moment with nature that will explode
with that hunt of a lifetime.
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
2012 trail cam photos,
2011
trail cam photos,
2010 trail-cam photos,
2010 velvet trail-cam
photos, 2009 kills, 2010 kills,
2011 kills!

(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.
