We purchased our farm 4 years ago in the Wayne National Forrest in Southern Ohio. Year after year, it seemed there were 2 deer that would live on our farm year-round. Following these deer and finding multiple years of sheds we have spent each year attempting to harvest these 2 particular deer as a special memory for the beginning of our farm. Over the years these deer seemed to elude us in every way. Only 1 time in 3 years did we see one of these deer in person during daylight. After Jeff’s visit in September 2022, we only had a couple weeks to implement a small portion of the plan Jeff laid out for us. Once deer season started we not only had more day light photos of a dozen mature bucks but we were able to pattern the 2 that had eluded us for years. I was able to take down this 6.5 year old 164” Southern Ohio deer and my father was able to take down his 8.5 year old deer only 3 weeks later. We are very grateful for Jeff’s efforts, and we are extremely excited to see what changes the rest of his plan brings to our farm in the future!

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!

after 34 years of hunting this land and only 2 years after a 1/4 acre food plot at the very bottom of the hill next to the creek and turning the powerlines into switch grass and a 1/2 acre of a 4 clover mix he shot his first big buck here and I'm seeing alot. Thanks you so much. That deer never would have been harvested without your help. And the last one I seen is much much larger than that

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the information you provide on this site and on YouTube. Your information on weather, deer behavior, dos/don'ts, rut activity and more has been so helpful to me. Last week, I put down a small 9-point buck; it's what my friends are calling a damn good "you've got two young kids at home" buck lol.

WHS information helped me every step of the way. When I scouted my property, I heard Jeff's voice reminding me of what to look for. I found a nice cruising funnel (a crossroads, really), and multiple bucks came by last Friday. By prioritizing high-value mornings, I took the deer in under 7 hours in the ground blind. Next year, I can't wait to make improvements (food, water source, mock scrapes) that I've seen you all use and explain.

I've been blessed with a lot of great friends who helped me in person every step of the way as well. But your stuff has been wonderful -- easy to understand, presented with a humble authority and not too long.

First off thanks for all the videos and posts that you have made. I read them all. But a special thanks is in order for your article last week. You talked about hunting the cold front Saturday. Well you convinced me enough to drive 2 hours to my parents hunting land to hunt. On a typical year I wouldn't have started hunting until mid October. But back to my story.

It's Saturday night and I'm in my stand by 5pm. By 6:30 I had already seen 6 different bucks. No shooters or at least not what I was looking for. About 7pm that monster buck came out. Just like you predicted. We had pictures of this buck, and so did the surrounding properties. So how lucky I feel, to have gotten this buck; it is still overwhelming! I know that if I wouldn't have seen your message about hunting Saturday, I wouldn't have been in the woods."
