Something that often gets overlooked every year is the tremendous amount of hard work that goes into preparing for deer season. One of the biggest tasks is planting and managing our food plots.

The plots don’t simply regrow themself each year. First each plot has to be sprayed. Then the plots have to be ran over with a disc by a tractor. After that, they have to be fertilized and the seed has to be “hand walked and hand cranked” in. After that, the plots have to be ran over with the disc again to cover the seed.

A huge thank you to “Mr. Green Thumb himself”, Wendell Kluttz, for his hard work, dedication, and willingness to share his knowledge. We also want to thank everyone else who pitched in to help us get these beautiful food plots established this year.

The Uwharrie Mountains of the North Carolina Piedmont don't look like much on paper. The highest peak, Badin Hill, reaches only about 1,100 feet. They are worn down, rounded, and modest in profile compared to the Blue Ridge to the west. What they lack in altitude they make up in age: the Uwharrie Mountains are among the oldest exposed rock formations in eastern North America, with some formations dating to approximately 500 million years ago. They predate complex animal life by hundreds of millions of years. The Blue Ridge and the Smokies are newcomers by comparison. 🪨

The Uwharries were once much taller, geologists estimate potentially as high as modern-day Himalayas before the patient work of erosion brought them low over hundreds of millions of years. What remains are the roots of a mountain range that was ancient when the continents were still assembled in their original configuration. The rocks are primarily igneous and metamorphic, the kind of stone that comes from deep within the earth or from extreme heat and pressure.

Today the Uwharrie National Forest covers much of the range and offers hiking, camping, and off-road trails. The forest is not heavily trafficked relative to the more famous mountain regions of the state, which makes it genuinely quiet. Standing on a rock face in the Uwharries is standing on something that watched the dinosaurs come and go, that was already old when the first humans arrived in North America. There is something about that kind of age that changes the way a place feels underfoot. 🌙

Many of you know that we lost our neighbor and good friend Coy McNeil back in January. Earlier this week, Coy’s wife contacted us and wanted to donate two of Coy’s deer mounts to the Dry Creek cabin. She also had two other mounts that she wanted placed in Coy’s Great Grandmother’s cabin located in the center of our leased property. Wendell and Mike were honored to make the trip down to the club and hang the two donated deer in Dry Creeks cabin and also bring home two other deer to Coy’s Grandmothers cabin. It was such a special day. Well miss seeing Coy randomly walk out of the woods while we were to and fro to the stand and most of all well miss his companionship. All of the deer in the pictures were killed at Dry Creek. Thank you to Cindy McNeil and the entire McNeil family.

Thank you to everyone that came out for our workday. We were able to plant all of our food plots and get a lot of other things on our list accomplished.
