It takes a village to manage deer herds to grow bigger
deer. In the farm country of Pennsylvania, Steve Pfaff knows first
hand. Steve was able to kill one of his best bucks to date in 2016
and he credits his success not just to his own practices on his
family (public land) farm, but to the commitment and deer
management teamwork of neighboring farms. Each farm
works towards maximizing crops production while effectively keeping
the deer herd in balance. Steve studies the deer herd year round
with the use of game cameras, is very particular about treestand
placement, uses the farm crop rotations to his advantage, and says
that a slow quiet walk to and from the stand is important to his
bow hunting success. Steve shares with us his experience of
working the family farm, hunting the family farm, and shooting a
buck of a lifetime.
