Know where the game is!

We started a few years ago, we are feed the wild game around our area and not hunting them at this time. Every morning I through out some chicken scratch for the birds. Currently have about 50 quail and over 100 doves that come in. We are also going to put an auto feeder at the stock pond to feed the mule deer and the wild life that come in to water. This way we will have them used to coming in, then when the sh&% hit the fan we know where the meat is.

For now we eat what we raise on the ranch.

By the way there were hundreds of geese heading North. Some of the largest numbers I have seen the last few years.

What a great idea! I will have to get some wild bird seed and setup bird feeders all around the perimeter! Could probably start putting out corn for the deer as well!

If there is a local feed store in your area, just buy chicken scratch. Its an excellent mix of grains good for all wildlife.

It does seem like there were a lot of geese about this year Im seeing them all over: parking lots, drainage ditches, my college campus, etc Wish it was legal to put a few in the freezer!

Put out a salt block, it will bring in the deer and other game. I put out feed for the squirrels, they are more than fat enough and they have multiplied by at least two fold. Rabbits also seem to like the food.
