How To Grow Bigger Bucks

1. The right location! Hard pill to swallow. If you are in a location where your property is boarded by other deer hunters that are shooting everything they see your hard work will have little reward. Everyone needs to be on the same page (in general)

2. Having high quality soil. This means doing soil samples and working to improve it. The soil is the base of healthy deer. The nutrients in the soil give the plants nutrition which is then given to the deer when they consume the plant. The healthier the soil the bigger the deer.

3. A high quality year round food plot program grown in that high quality soil you have been working on.

4. Having the patience of giving the deer birthdays & being ok eating tag soup for a couple years.

5. Not pressuring the deer to the point you push them off to the neighbors and they shoot them all.

6. Setting a realistic goal for your quality of deer in the area you are deer hunting. Each area will produce a different quality buck depending on quality of food and genetics.

Shoot me a email below to discuss your goals and what you want to achieve out of your deer hunting property. We can also discuss more details over the phone with a free 30 minute phone consultation to see if i can help you the way you want.

Land management is a crucial part of maintaining and enhancing a piece of property. We all want to see wildlife not only survive but to also thrive. By enhancing natural browse and creating food plots we can help attract and grow bigger deer and turkeys.

If you are looking for any kind of land management services/consulting work feel free to reach out to discuss. We Can go over food plot placement, land management consulting, planting food plots, brush hog mowing, tree stand placement, soil health, trail camera placement, travel corridor’s, hinge cutting and entry and exit. We can work with your budget and goals to help you reach and maintain your dream deer hunting property.

When designing a deer hunting property its important to be able to access all stands without spooking deer. A lot of times we enhance every inch of the parcel that there is no room left over to get around the property. We need to be able to access stands no matter if its morning or evening hunting. By placing food and cover in the correct areas and connecting them with travel corridors we tell the deer where to move. Everyone wants to kill the big Iowa bucks but that all depends on the area. You have to have realistic goals from the start to finish.

My Story

My passion for whitetails and land management started long before Whitetail Obsession Outdoors ever became a business.

For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated countless hours to studying whitetail behavior, habitat, deer movement, hunting pressure, food sources, bedding areas, access strategies, and what it takes to consistently improve a hunting property.

My approach to habitat management comes from real-world, hands-on experience. I’ve spent years experimenting, learning, making mistakes, adapting, and seeing firsthand what works—and what doesn’t. Every property has taught me something, and I continue learning every time I step onto a new piece of ground.

That’s the same mindset I bring to every property consultation.

I don’t believe there is one perfect formula that works everywhere. Every property is different. The terrain is different. The surrounding properties are different. The hunting pressure is different. Most importantly, every landowner has different goals.

My job is to look at the entire picture.

When I step onto your property, I’m looking at how deer naturally use the land today and how strategic habitat improvements can influence that movement in the future. I’m evaluating food, bedding, security cover, travel corridors, hunting access, stand locations, pressure, and the surrounding landscape to develop a plan that makes sense specifically for your property.

I also believe a great habitat plan needs to be realistic.

Not everyone has unlimited time, money, or equipment. My goal is to help you prioritize the improvements that can have the greatest impact and give you a clear direction moving forward—whether you own 20 acres or several hundred.

Whitetail Obsession Outdoors was built from a genuine obsession with whitetails, hunting, and improving the land. I’ve been fortunate enough to turn that passion into an opportunity to help other landowners and hunters reach their own property goals.

I take a tremendous amount of pride in every property I visit. When you hire me, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter plan. You’re getting my personal attention, my experience, and an honest assessment of what I believe will help your property reach its full potential.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple:

Help you build a better whitetail property—and help you become a better, more effective hunter on it.
