As we wrap up the 2025 deer season, I just want to say thank you to all of our deer hunters. We’re lucky to work with such a great group of guys and families, and I truly appreciate the trust you continue to put in us year after year. You all have become more like family over the last 15 years.
Looking ahead to 2026, draw dates for both turkey and deer are coming up fast, so I wanted to get this information out early. As most of you know, we haven’t run a turkey schedule since COVID. With rising costs and additional leases coming online for 2026, we’ve decided to bring back a 2026 turkey season. Our goal is to help offset some of those increased expenses so we don’t have to make major changes to the cost of our whitetail hunts.
