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.

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

I’ve been bow-hunting for more than 25 years, and started planting deer food plots when I was just 14 years old. Over two decades of experimentation and experience taught me that successful deer management is about more than one single tactic — it’s about combining proper habitat design, food-plot nutrition, cover, and hunting pressure management to hold deer on your land long term.

When I founded Whitetail Obsession Outdoors, my goal was simple: help everyday hunters transform ordinary land into productive hunting properties. I’m not claiming to be an expert — but I promise to use common sense, real-world experience, and honest hard work to help you reach your goals.
