Louisiana Buck and Doe Fawns for Sale

We will be selling bred does for a couple of more weeks. After that we'll be selling yearling does and bucks as well as buck and doe fawns. Most of what we will sell is from our 200" genetics stock. We will have a very few fawns that may be available from some of our yearlings. VooDoo, with a High Roller background, will have one buck fawn and one doe fawn available for $7500/each. These fawns will be great for adding the High Roller look to your breeding operation. VooDoo had 22 points last year as a yearling.

We will also offer some of our foundation does A.I.'d to the legendary 300" 30-30. We will A.I. these does for the fall of 2010. We only have 6 left so place your order now.

Antler Drop Finally Happened

I was finally able to pull our Redoy Joe 200" buck's remaining antler off yesterday. I've tried numerous times before unsuccessfully but I was able to tug hard enough to finally remove it. He showed some signs that there might be some infection around the base where new antler had already started. We've given some antibiotics twice and he already looks and acts better. I don't know why it took so long but it's a relief to us and I'm sure him that it's finally over.

Temporary Exclusion Fencing for Food Plots

I had some previous experience with electric fencing to exclude mule deer in the Texas Panhandle. A client had problems with mule deer entering her lawn area and devastating her flowers. She had a large yard on a lake in a canyon and planted $100's in flowers every year only to be destroyed by the mule deer. I installed a single 1" wide electric tape using rebar posts and screw-on insulators. In the years following until they moved, deer only entered the property twice. Once when the fence controller malfunctioned and once when a guy installing Christmas lights unplugged the controller.

I've tried it on one of my food plots for my white-tailed deer. I still have to tweak it but very few deer have compromised the barrier. I wouldn't use the fence as an inclusion fence but to keep them out I think it should work pretty well. The electric tape flutters in the wind and the deer walk up and touch their noses to it to check it out. Zap and they're gone. I've had a couple go under the fence without touching it but will make some changes in the next few days. I'll update you soon.

Great Pyrenees Puppies are Great

We have 5 Great Pyrenees puppies. They are 9 weeks old and have been weaned for 3 weeks. The puppies are still together in a pen with our white-tailed deer. The deer and puppies are doing well together. The puppies follow us as we ride through the pen in our mini-truck. They wait at the corner as we leave to go to the next pen and remain until we return. They rarely go through a gate since I have been training them to remain in the pen unless I allow them out. They have been amazing. They are exploring all over the 18 acre pen. One caught a mouse and ate it while we were watching! I'm not sure if she thought it was a predator and needed to be eliminated. They are inquisitive and independent. I think they'll work out great when we separate them into there own deer pens.

Antler Drop Still Delayed

Our 200" buck, Redoy Joe, still hasn't lost the second half of his antlers. It's been 3 months. He has new growth under the still remaining antler. It is still very well attached. He's tame enough to let me pull on it and it won't come off. Not sure what this will do to this year's antler growth. We have some really great 2-year olds that are coming along great.
