Summer is the perfect time to make small changes to your deer habitats. You can do a lot of little things now that will improve your odds of having the deer herd visit your habitat in the fall. Check out our tips for how to slowly but consistently build your deer habitat before fall.

We all know deer prioritize food, water and shelter, just like any other living thing. If you don’t have a natural water source on your property you can make your own by digging a hole or by setting up one of our Wild Water Systems. Equip your property with a water source now, during the summer, to bring the deer to your property while it’s hot out. They’ll be seeking more water than they would during the colder months and it gives them the chance to get accustomed to your property before hunting season opens.

The summer off-season is the ideal time to complete your property maintenance projects. You won’t have to worry about scaring off the deer herd during an active hunting season and you’ll still have enough time to add food plots and water sources or clear shooting lanes before the season opens. Check out this week’s blog for tips on how to use your utility trailer to help simplify your summer deer habitat projects.

Deer constantly seek three main things: a water source, a food source, and a bedding area. If your hunting property doesn’t have a natural water source, check out our Wild Water Systems to provide the deer herd with one of their vital needs. Review our products below to learn how they can help you keep deer on your property all summer.

Keeping up with landscaping the trees, shrubs and other foliage on your hunting property is essential for cultivating a proper deer habitat and hunting area. You can do this by clearing shooting lanes, planting food plots, and hinge cutting. In this week’s blog, we’ll discuss what hinge cutting is and why it’s a great maintenance technique for your hunting property.
