What Others Are Saying


Huge shout out to Jeff Sturgis and his infinite whitetail wisdom. I installed a waterhole back in August just for this one particular buck after watching Jeff's videos. Before too long all the deer in the vicinity were hammering it including this guy. Fast forward to the morning of October 27th when a hot doe was thirsty around 8:20 AM and led this guy right past me at 30 yards.

Since watching Jeff’s videos and reading his articles, I’ve completely changed the way I think and strategize my habitat work. As I’ve taken on his strategies as my own, I have learned to transition my hunting properties to improve the habitat as well as my food plots for better fall hunting, and the results speak for themselves!

Terron B

Happy to share that Kevan came out in spring of 22 and designed an amazing layout
I have 2 boys 5/7 and we use the ponds for fishing and they love riding the trails on all our toys!
We see a handful of the same bucks from June-Sept but when prime season kicks in, it is hot and steady action
It was not uncommon to see 6-8 different bucks a sit and always multiple does
Unfortunately I did not harvest one that I am looking for yet, but 2 of my good friend both got quality mature bucks last year (tine to start charging!lol)
On top of that the turkeys were relating more to some of the cuttings close to timber and alfalfa fields and that resulted in many mornings with multiple Tom’s coming in My 7 year old took his first and it was an awesome experience!

John T- Ohio

“Thanks buddy!! I'm so looking forward to future hunts, especially after we finish getting property setup from your recommendations. Just need to finish the bedding areas and interior paths. I can see a big difference already from last season!”

Mike W- Ohio

I have really enjoyed working with your entire team from Dylan’s consulting work, to the seed products and all your customer service support. It’s really been a great experience and I appreciate all your help.
