Should you burn during the growing season or dormant season? The answer is yes

1️⃣Did your hit-list buck evade you?

2️⃣Were the deer on the neighbor’s more than your property?

3️⃣Was there no consistency in where the deer would come and go to food or cover?

Those are some of the things we help to address here at Hayes Land Services!

When the previous season is still fresh on our mind and the vegetation is dormant is a great time to get a game plan together for improving a few things, because October will be here before we know it.

Consultation days are being booked up, so send a message, text, call, or email to get yours now!

We saw historic wildfire occurrence here in Oklahoma last year. With record rainfall in the growing season and recent freezes there are staggering amounts of cured fuel all across the state.
If you want to mitigate and protect your structures for the next time a fire comes through, call me to schedule a time!

Because it’s not if it happens, it’s when.

Putting in a new set for this season! Who’s getting ready for this upcoming season??🦌

While tractors and other machinery is nice, you do NOT need it to really improve your hunting strategy…look into what I call, “kill plots!”
These may be as small as a quarter acre and while they won’t sustain a deer herd (we do that by improving the amount/quality of native flora), they will absolutely attract deer and get them within bow range for you this fall!
