Hitlist Season is NOW: Choose GOLD!
As we’ve seen this summer in Paris, every high-performing athlete has their own way of preparing for their event. Did you know that white-tailed deer have their own kind of marathon each fall? We call it the rut, but it’s something that ends up killing many bucks that are not prepared to make it to the finish line.
Think of your target buck like an elite athlete. If you want your bucks to be well prepared for the upcoming rut, NOW is the perfect time to start. The best thing you can do is provide free choice supplemental protein feed so they can bulk up ahead of when they need it. Ani-Supplement GOLD® is the perfect feed for this application. It has everything deer need in terms of nutrients, and as a side bonus, it’s insanely attractive. If you are currently only feeding corn to your deer, they are not getting enough minerals and vitamins. That would be equivalent to Michael Phelps eating nothing but potato chips instead of his highly diverse and protein-packed 10,000 calories per day diet. He wouldn’t be able to perform to his peak abilities, and neither would a buck if he is only fed corn.
The best part about this time of year is that while you are getting your bucks to reach their peak performance in terms of health and antler growth, you can also get some excellent trail cam pics to start building your hitlist. I like to use a cellular-based camera with a solar panel on a lithium battery pack so I don’t have to worry about running low on power. Currently I’m running the Moultrie Mobile Edge camera with the Edge Series Solar Power Pack. Every year I’m amazed at how much a buck can grow from one year to the next.
Here is a series of pictures from a buck last year compared to this year. I believe he was 2.5 years old last year, and this year he’s 3.5.
It’s a buck I call Funky. Every one of his forks got deeper from last year, and he added a lot to his frame. As bucks finish off their antler growth, they start to focus more on body building, or in this case, re-building. Bucks rob their skeletal system of nutrients in order to grow their antlers, so it’s the perfect time to feed so they can undo the osteoporosis that has occurred in their skeletal system.
Ani-Supplement GOLD is a great source of calcium and phosphorus, which are the number 1 and 2 ingredients of all bone tissue. Micro minerals Copper, Manganese, Selenium, and Zinc are added because we tested the liver of free ranging deer and found those specific micros to be deficient across the white-tail’s range. Over the next few weeks I’m going to be putting up more cameras and watching the hitlist grow. The season will be here before we know it, and every card pull or app check-in is like Christmas morning thanks to the power of GOLD!
