Big news for upland hunters!

Pheasants Forever is applauding today's announcement by the U.S. Department of the Interior for the proposed expansion of 1,450 new hunting and fishing opportunities on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands across 111 stations in 32 states.

This represents the largest expansion of hunting and fishing access in the history of the USFWS and will benefit upland hunters and the places bird dogs love to roam!

The official start of Summer is just around the corner, but this cool spring weather is buying us time to get more seed in the ground. That means more food for wildlife and therefore healthier fawns, poults, ducklings and chicks.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Rays sudden passing.
Ray Gullet was one of our very first customers here at Buck Branch Outdoors. He was loyal to us and a trusted client for many years.
Ray was a hard working man with an immeasurable passion for the outdoor pursuits. I will always remember our final conversation about how his morning turkey hunt went and potentially moving a ground blind for another future hunt that will now no longer take place.
Hard to comprehend the loss of such wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ray”s children and family.

Let’s talk about ☘️Clover ☘️

The little green powerhouse has tons of benefits for your soil AND wildlife. Heres just a few:

🌱 Soil Health Optimization: Clover is a legume that converts nitrogen into a usable form for the soil, boosting fertility naturally.

💪🏼 Nutritional Powerhouse: Some clover provides perennial forage, while others offer fast growth and different maturity times. This ensures a high-protein, highly digestible food source from spring through late summer.

🦌 Benefits for Deer: Mixes offer high-protein forage aiding deer antler growth and nursing fawns.

💧 Soil Structure Improvement: Different clovers, aerate the soil at different depths, improving drainage and reducing compaction.

🌾 W**d Suppression & Moisture Retention: A diverse mix creates a thick, living mulch that shades the ground, keeping it cool, moist, and preventing sun-loving weeds.

📞Contact Silas at 217-883-0088 to get your clover mixes started. Your soil and wildlife will thank you!
