yep Ron is right. i spoke to Jenny yesterday and she said that this is a very special deal that they are offering us and that they don't do this normally. apparently two issues lead to us getting the entire week. first the property has been getting very little hunting pressure and there is an over abundance of deer that need to be put in check and the second reason is that they have been really impressed with us as a traditional group and out ethics and attitude towards hunting.

Guys and Gals, I just got back an hour ago from Fulfillment Farms with some scouting news. This place is HOT with deer sign. I saw 4 Deer while on the propery and 2 more trying to enter from another landowners land. I watched a young six pointer and a doe feed on acorns for about 10 minutes and saw a Nice buck of around 110 class as I jumped him from his bed. There are very few hardwoods but the the white oaks were bearing, I only covered about a third of the property as it is over 1900 acres. Sign was good but scouting will need to be done to find the key spots. I left my camera at home like a dumb@ss... so I don't have any pics to show you but the deer are there. Squirrels also and a few turkey signs were seen. This is a good opportunity for a quality Buck or Doe for the freezer. Time is ticking away, If you are interested please let us know.

This should be a good one for sure-looking forward to it. Believe the rules had a outside the ears rule for bucks-might be some bruisers there if there isn't alot of pressure.

Tom, Glad you brought up the rules. Everyone hunting needs to adhere to them. A buck has to be atleast 6 points and outside the ears to be a shooter. Ike asks that we not hold back on the doe deer and they will have the DMAP tools and info there for us to use.
Rob and I are planning on going back either Wednesday or Thursday for some more scouting and assessment of the property if anyone wants to join us let us know.

Alright, I mailed out my permit request today. How many of us are going so far??? I'm planning on getting there that Sunday and staying until friday noon.... That is if my leave is approved. Rob, I don't think we're allowed to leave treestands hanging over night, don't know about the ground blinds?? How many deer are we allowed to kill on te DMAP?? And can you kill more than one in a day?
