Kaleo Hills-Property Tour

I got a few pictures of this buck in velvet at a mineral site and occasional pictures on a community scrape. This was one I was hoping to run into this season.

8 months since my last update.

Took my 12 year old on her first hunt in late December. No deer but we saw a NICE bear at ~30 yards one morning. We were in a ground blind and I couldn’t get her on it fast enough. She’s an archery girl at heart and not really comfortable with a rifle yet.

She opted out after the bear encounter. I shot this doe with my 7 year old son watching. My first deer with a gun since 2006.

We only managed one three day trip and didn’t get a bird but had fun!

Two years later my son has killed his first 7 deer and two turkeys on the property. His older sister hasn’t shown much interest in the rifle but wants to archery hunt this year.

From a management perspective we’ve been hard on the antlerless harvest with six killed this last season.

I burned my first two units this year totaling ~8.5 acres.

Daughters first. She’s not into guns but at 14 was able to get it done with her bow.

October buck. This was a fun hunt. Hottest day of October, LOW expeditions. Slipped off an old logging road 25 yards from a loaded apple. Shot this buck 45 minutes later.

Winter and spring was mainly spent cleaning up Hurricane Helene damage. I’ll never get to most of it. Just clearing our haul roads.

Spring burn ~5 acres. Spotty but successful. This area was logged in 2013. I’ll follow up with hack and squirt over the summer.
