Two Additional Fall Food Mini-Plots

I believe I am going to plant these in varieties of clover.

The ladder stand in this area has a great view of these plots:

New Fall Food Plot Location

Yesterday, in addition to working on repairs to the elevated box blind in the "bottom field", I began groundwork on a new Fall food plot location. For those customers that hunted last year, you will recognize the single man box blind to the right and understand the location of the small plot at the bottom of the field. To those who have not hunted the land I offer this overhead:

This plot is going to be planted with austrian winter peas and forage oats. This should create an attractive stand to bring them into this field more and make this single man blind a great rifle season spot this year.

Box Blind Repairs

Today much needed repairs will commence upon the elevated box blind in the bottom field. This year the blind is overlooking a food plot of soybeans and grain sorghum.

2015 Deer Season is Upon Us

     It is less than two months until the 2015 deer season kicks off with archery hunting. I must apologize for not updating the blog for so long. It has been an insanely busy year so far but the lodge is on track for another quality season. I plan to have regular weekly updates from here forward, as this will be the primary online means of keeping our customers apprised of all things related to the hunting at the Lodge.

     First, some highlights from 2014:

     A couple of really nice 10 pointers were harvested by customers last year. We truly appreciate everyone's patronage and hope your hunts were enjoyable last year.

     With that being said, by now everyone is aware that we are not offering lodging this year, but are still offering private hunts. I will have a separate post to come detailing the 2015 rates and openings still available. I will also let everyone know that plans are in the works to once again offer lodging in 2016. There will be updates on this as the plan comes together, but we hope to offer the full package again next year. The land will be the same...may even have a few more acres to choose from, but the lodging will be different, as our family is now residing in the old lodge.

     Again I want to thank everyone who has been our customer over the last year and a half and I want to invite prospective customers to follow this blog and it's updates to determine if Williams Wilderness Lodge is the right hunting destination for you. Please follow along here as well as our Facebook or for more information on booking a private hunt call Ron at 928-366-4020.

Huge Work and Preparation Week.

This has been one long week of work trying to get everything ready for the 2014 deer season. I did my cutting and spraying a couple weeks ago, but this week I have been plowing and dragging two new plots for fall planting. It is Thursday evening and this is how they look. It is supposed to rain this weekend so seeds are going in the ground tomorrow evening.

This plot will be planted tomorrow with a brassica blend of turnips, sugar beets, and rape.

This plot will be planted tomorrow with crimson, red, and white clover, as well as forage oats.

Additionally, I have been setting up stands this week.

In total, there are four 15' ladder stands to go along with two Millenium M100 hanging stands.

Spring Food Plot Success

This guy seems to be enjoying what's left of the Spring Food Plot.
