Spring is an exciting time on Halls Creek hunting lands! The does' are actively giving birth to new fawns, and the bucks are beginning their seasonal antler development. Halls Creek has a reputation for harvesting some fantastic world-class bucks every year. We utilize a supplemental feeding program on our hunting lands to help the bucks reach their maximum potential as well as helping the does with their increased nutritional needs during lactation. Halls Creek also supplies excellent year round nutrition in our food plots and fields. We have designed our own food plot blends to maximize forage production nutrition and yields. Out stringent managment programs have payed off and are very obvious in the animals we harvest each year.

The worst thing that can happen in the deer woods is for an acute sickness to come on or to have a serious accident. It is imperative that deer hunters react quickly to serious accidents or sicknesses. There are four tools that can be used to help minimize risk in the deer woods. The first is the "buddy system" we all know how important it is to hunt with someone else just in case you need help. Plus it can be lot more enjoyable to share the hunting experience with another hunter. Second, try to carry a cell phone, they can be a life saver. However, cell phones have their own problems, like dead batteries, lack of service in remote areas, and the inablility of a seriously injured hunter to use it. Third, carry a two way radio to communicate with others in your hunting party. Finally, try to carry a Personal Locater Beacon (PLB). These are a relatively new device originally designed for climbers but are becoming more popular in the deer woods. A PLB is a pocket sized emergency beacon that when activated sends out a digital distress signal, which is detected by the NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites. Though viewed as an emergency tool of last resort, PLB's allow for a quick rescue. For more information go to Google.com and type in key word Personal Locater Beacon.
