What Our Summer Deer Inventory Is Telling Us | Farm Companion

In this episode of Farm Companion, we break down what we're seeing across our farms as summer progresses and deer patterns begin to take shape. From habitat improvements, community scrapes, and blind placement to summer scouting and deer inventory, we discuss the projects we're working on right now and what our summer inventory is revealing about the bucks using these properties. We also dive into Iowa's new cellular trail camera regulations, supplemental feeding, and where we draw the line when it comes to deer management and nutrition. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you next week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. 0:00 Crop Updates & Summer Conditions 4:55 Access Improvements & Property Projects 8:15 Habitat Growth Across Multiple Farms 13:10 A Tractor Mishap in the Bottom Field 18:40 Setting Blinds for Fall Success 24:15 Summer Buck Inventory Update 29:00 Why Community Scrapes Matter 35:10 Iowa's Cellular Camera Ban 41:20 Deer Feed, Additives & Antler Growth Claims 50:00 The Ethics of Deer Nutrition & Management SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/HUNTRTUBE Shop HUNTR Merch: https://wearehuntr.com/ HUNTR Podcast is presented by: Hoyt Archery: https://hoyt.com (Code HUNTR for 20% off apparel) DeerGro: https://www.deergro.com (Code HUNTR for 15% off) Predator Camo: https://www.predatorcamo.com/ (Code HUNTR for 20% off) Beast Broadheads: https://beastbroadheads.com/ (Code HUNTR for 10% off) Lone Wolf Custom Gear: https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com/ (Code HUNTR for 10% off your first purchase) RackHub: https://www.rack-hub.com/huntr (Code HUNTR for 10% off) Pure Wildlife Blends: https://www.purewildlifeblends.com (Code HUNTR for 10% off) Primos: https://www.primos.com/ (Code HUNTR for 15% off) Bushnell: https://www.bushnell.com/ (Code HUNTR for 15% off) Gateway 1 Boots: https://gateway1boots-usa.com/ (Code HUNTR for 15% off) HHA: https://www.hhasports.com/
