I’ve plugged Bill Winke’s MidWest Whitetail website before, but I’ll do it again because they are kicking off their introductory shows for the fall this week. There are 10 different shows that will be producing weekly (sometimes 2 a week during the rut) episodes. Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, the Northeast, Indiana, the Great Plains, and Wisconsin. In addition to these, Bill Winke’s feature show out of Iowa will be broadcast.
If you didn’t tune in last year, you don’t know what you are missing. Personally I think the video that is laid down by the individual states’ pro staff members is better than 90% of what you can watch on outdoor television networks. Plus it adds extra excitement knowing that the hunts took place only days and sometimes hours ago, not in 2009 or the year before that. So do yourself a favor, bookmark the website, and watch MidWest Whitetail this fall.
Another website worth checking out is Grant Woods’ Growing Deer TV. There are about 40 informative videos archived about everything from food plots and helping deer through drought to mineral licks and applying prescribed fire to deer habitat. It is structured similarly to Bill Winke’s website as weekly episodes apply to current issues facing deer management on his properties and hunting encounters that take place that very week. If you are a hunting property owner, this website will definitely provide you with some valuable insights on how to better manage your land for wildlife.
