BLUE CREEK WHITETAILS FOCUSED ON PRODUCING ELITE WHITETAILS

By: Gail Veley

Blue Creek Whitetails Manager

Jimmie Neeley pauses at the pen of Royal, his favorite doe on the farm he breathes life into seven days a week. As Royal approaches him, it isn’t so much the treat he’s holding that she’s interested in, but rather, the affection he offers along with it. She nuzzles and licks his hand as he strokes her neck and softly talks to her. Her sheer delight in seeing him is obvious. And vice versa. And just like the farm itself, there is a lot to appreciate about Royal, whose pedigree includes Blue Chip, Freeze Frame, Shadow and Tasha among others. This four-year-old doe is also perhaps a symbol of what is good and right in the deer industry and at Blue Creek Whitetails. Their superior animal husbandry skills combined with breeding superior genetics, finds Blue Creek Whitetails producing some of the most elite whitetails in the industry.

The sprawling 250-acre farm in Falfurrias, Texas, is home to approximately 1,150 deer including bucks and does. What that number does not include is the 400-500 fawns expected this season. And while those sheer numbers of deer may seem overwhelming from a management perspective, Neeley, who always keeps the big picture in the back of his mind, lives by this decree. “We take things one step at a time and one deer at a time,” he

explained. “You don’t only focus on the big picture. You learn to slow down and simplify and to keep your goals clearly defined. We have a great team of employees that always goes above and beyond in every circumstance.”

Neeley and his wife Kayla are as devoted as anyone could be in their positions. Yet, both realize how lucky they are to have the dedicated team of employees working right alongside them. “We have one gentleman working here that no matter what time you decide to start that day, he always the first one there. He refuses to show up second to work,” Neeley, 41, shared. “We also have an employee who’s a licensed veterinarian in Mexico. After seeing to the deer, he’s not one bit scared to work hard and pick up a weed eater or get on a tractor. He’s 70 years old and he’s amazing. All of the employees here are amazing and work together seven days a week. Every one of them is a valuable asset. We deeply appreciate everything that they do.”

Neeley, along with farm owners Billy and Alice Oehmig, also appreciate the partnerships they have on a few prized breeding bucks. These include Ice Man with Jade Webster of MVP Whitetails, Simply Irresistible and Wanted with Brad Hassig of Prime Acres as well as Are You

Ready with MVP Whitetails, Prime Acres, Jesse Boger of Limitless Genetics, Kiser Creek and Billy Sage. “With our business partners and production record, we believe we are moving in the right direction,” Neeley said. “Our customer base is growing immensely. They are extremely important to us along with building and maintaining good relationships. We do everything we can to make things right. And we are always looking to improve and make the herd better.”

In their spare time the Neeley’s enjoy going to the beach and also going to the gym to workout. Yet, coming back home to the farm is a feeling unlike any other. At the end of the day, crimson colors cascade as the perfect backdrop to a pen with 100 does thriving among evergreen live oak trees endemic to the Texas terrain. From his back porch Neeley takes the sight in, which never gets old. He lets out a grateful sigh that another day has gone well at this deer paradise. As he lays down next to Kayla and prepares for a good night’s rest, his last waking thought has been known to be “How can we grow bigger deer?” Check out Blue Creek Whitetails on Facebook as well as their website www. bluecreekwhitetails.com.

OKLAHOMA DEER FARMERS FLOURISHING UNDER MONITORED OR NON-MONITORED STATUS

By: Gail Veley - Sponsored by Whitetails of Oklahoma

Ooklahoma can boast about something few states can. There has never been a confirmed case of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in either farmed or free-range whitetail deer. However, Oklahoma has been very fortunate in this regard. Through a program developed by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture in conjunction with Whitetails of Oklahoma (WOO), deer farmers within the state have the option to operate their farms under a CWD/TB/ Brucellosis Monitored status or a NonMonitored status.

Which one you choose could depend on what part of the deer industry you are catering to and the potential amount of sales you wish to generate, among other things. Oklahoma farmers with monitored herds can sell deer to any state that will or can accept them. Oklahoma farmers with non-monitored herds can only sell their deer within the Oklahoma state borders.

However, raising a non-monitored herd has never been to the detriment of Barry Reed, 47, owner of Big Head Whitetails in Pryor, Oklahoma. “I sell out of stockers every year,” said Barry, who leans towards raising non-typical deer with a good frame. “I can’t raise enough to keep up with the demand. This year I sold all of my available inventory including bred and open does.” To further guarantee his deer are marketable in light of his nonmonitored status, Reed infuses quality genetics from the likes of Maxbo, Express and Pay Day into his herd and also promotes his prize breeding buck “Titties.” While he finds being nonmonitored less stressful on his daily farm operation “there are advantages

to being monitored,” he said. “There is a bigger breeder market and doe market if you can sell to other states like those up north.” Yet, if he was monitored, he admits he could find himself needing to be more closely concerned about overall production.

While agreeing that being monitored has it’s advantages, Don Elder of Oak Hollow Exotics feels he has absolutely no need to be, as he easily sells all of his genetically-proven inventory every year to the tune of at least 25 deer. “I’ve had several friends that were monitored, but it got too costly and time-consuming,” he said. “Now I only know two to three people who are still monitored.” While Elder, 67, used to raise and sell elk and fallow deer, he became nervous when CWD began to show it’s face among elk. According to internet research, in 1998, a case of CWD was found in a captive elk at a neighboring Oklahoma farm that had been imported from Montana. As a result, the entire elk herd was euthanized. Consequently, since 2008, Elder has only raised and sold whitetails, and finds immense gratification in doing so.

Yet, gratification in having and maintaining a monitored herd is what motivates Chris Ezell to do so at his farm, Dangerous Whitetails of Oklahoma. “To qualify as a CWD/TB/ Brucellosis Monitored herd, you must test for CWD, TB and brucellosis. To do that, you need to run all of your deer through your handling facility and pull blood from them to be sent off for testing. This is a costly expense,” Ezell explained. “You also must test every animal over 12 months of age that dies on your farm. This means you must take the head of the deceased animal to your vet and pay to have the test done. You must also keep

up with all of the paperwork and use multiple tags on your deer. All of these requirements take time, cost money and put extra stress on your animals. And, if you damage one deer in the process it could cost you $5,000 to $10,000 or more to treat it. So, with that being said, if you do not do all of these things you can only sell your deer within the state of Oklahoma. I personally own deer in several states and have partners who wish to move animals to different states that have been born in Oklahoma. These deer usually possess high end, nationally marketed genetics. Therefore, the value offsets the time and expense and headaches of doing what it takes to be monitored,” he added. “If you feel your deer are worth the time and expense to be monitored, you owe it to yourself to explore that option.”

MISSOURI DEER FARMERS SHARE

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FACILITIES AND LAY OF THE LAND

By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by MDA

Afunctional facility in a location ideal for raising healthy whitetails can be the key to success, according to Donald Hill, owner of Oak Creek Whitetail Ranch in Bland, Missouri. When building a facility, understanding the psychology of deer is the first thing, followed by designing a facility that keeps them as calm as possible, which allows you to work as safely as possible. Whether it be a fawning facility, A.I. facility or handling facility, each should be constructed utilizing the driest location on your property, while considering the efficiency needed to move deer. “Until you look at a lot of different properties and see those facilities in action, it can be hard to understand them,” Hill said. “If you are new to deer farming or are thinking about redesigning your facility, I suggest visiting every farm possible so that you can develop a handling facility that deer are comfortable running through. Each farm will be different and in turn need a different design.” At Hill’s farm, he has two different facilities that each work better than the other for their specific function and layout.

Neither system would work as good at the other location or for that function. Amy Nold, owner of Nold Farms LLC in Urich, Missouri, agrees with Hill’s theory. “Having the ability to provide quality herd management is the key to any successful operation,” she said. Although handling deer safely once they are inside your facility is important, the process of moving deer into it is key. “You cannot have a 45 or 90 degree turn straight into your barn,” Hill emphasized. “The approach into your barn is a very important thing. It must be well lit in the area where you are bringing the deer inside. You ideally will want several 130 degree turns leading into your barn, so the deer feel as though they have escaped from you when they go around each corner.” In addition, “a chute that is user friendly that one person can operate is a must,” Nold emphasized. “You can have the most elaborate system leading up to the chute, and still struggle with the wrong chute.” Deer farmers planning to use laparoscopic A.I. should install several knock down stalls that provide an area free of stress for does to be comfortable after being sedated. “If you plan on growing, leave room to add interior wellventilated holding stalls,” Hill explained. “I personally like my stalls 8’ x 8’ feet or smaller. Anything larger than 8’ the deer will want to jump over. Lower ceilings will also help to keep them from jumping. We also like to use push boxes that are 4’ x 4’ feet so we can use a 4’ piece of plywood as a push door.”

“If I had to do it all over again, I would build my own push gate boxes instead of buying boxes and not waste money on push walls,” Hill said. “Many factors make a facility work better, there is no way to describe them until you are experiencing it.” Hill also advises to

spend the money up front to put a 10’ to 15’ alley between each pen and around your whole facility. “I did not do this at first trying to save money, and regretted it since day one,” Hill shared. “If you have alleys between and around the facility there is no need for shade cloth, and you don’t have to worry about your bucks fighting with each other or wild deer.” In striving to move deer efficiently into a barn, Hill also strongly believes in narrowing alleys down gradually to 4 feet, and only using push gates once the deer are inside the barn. The ability to weigh your deer on a scale inside your facility can also prove very valuable in monitoring their nutrition or in determining whether or not there are any underlying health issues. However you may utilize a facility, at the end of the day “if you are having any injuries or deaths while working deer, you need to look at your design again and revamp it,” Hill said. “In a well-functioning facility, you could pull 130 deer for LAP A.I. and have them awake and back into their pens in less than four hours. A good facility is a game changer.”

TREASURING HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES SHARED MEMORIES WITH JAKE ANDERSON

By: Gail Veley • Sponsored by KALA

The clock was close to striking midnight when Jake Anderson set out for an eastern Kentucky elk hunt in September of 2013. This trip would be one of several he would take in an effort to not waste the coveted elk tag he had drawn from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife lottery earlier that summer. His plan, along with packing his hunting bow and camping gear, was to arrive at daybreak to scope out promising areas for the harvest.

“The maps provided by fish and wildlife were terrible,” Anderson, who was 25 at the time, said. And even though he stopped at several places to ask the locals about elk sightings “no one could tell me anything,” he added. “This was all on public land with no guide.” It took five trips. The first was with one of his hunting friends. Although on that trip Anderson squarely landed an arrow into a really sizable bull, the big elk was completely unfazed by the shot and continued on chasings cows, until completely disappearing from sight. His fifth trip found him shooting a fatal arrow into what Anderson still

considers his “once-in-a-lifetime” freerange elk. Luckily, the elk had expired on a dirt road on land formerly used for mining, and Anderson was able to bring his truck into the exact location and load the entire body into his truck bed.

Ironically, as he arrived to this particular spot to gather his elk, he found five elk standing right there, all bigger than the one he had just taken down. “I thought ‘you gotta be kidding me. This is just my luck,” Anderson said, even though he was really happy with his hunted treasure. During another hunt, a whitetail hunt in Kansas, both Anderson and his uncle had shot an arrow at a buck. Anderson, however, had taken and landed the first shot. Both men, upon searching for their deer, thought that their arrow had certainly been the fatal one. However, when they found the buck, only one arrow was in it. “That was another memorable hunt that really stands out for me,” Anderson said.

Yet, in all the hunting adventures he’s enjoyed throughout the years, Anderson has noticed one thing. Public land for hunting decreases every year.

According to internet research, rapid urban sprawl has been responsible for close to 14,000 square miles of land development between 2001 and 2019, which comparatively is an area roughly five times the size of the State of Delaware. Real estate values for farmland have also increased substantially throughout recent years, making selling the land more enticing particularly in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Florida. Other states experiencing the most accelerated urban growth have included Texas, Illinois and North Dakota. “Unless you own land or are leasing it, our opportunities to hunt in open range are going to be gone,” Anderson, owner of Anderson Whitetails in Guston, Kentucky, said. “There is less and less land to hunt and we are going to get to a point where there will be no place left to hunt. This is where we are lucky to have high fence hunting. You could hunt your whole life and never have the opportunity to shoot one like you have in a preserve.”

“Without high fence hunting, it is so hard for an individual to find somewhere to hunt that’s not developed or leased out,” Anderson emphasized. “If I visited a preserve, I’d like to get another elk. Same for other hunters. It wouldn’t have to be just a whitetail. You might be sitting in a deer stand an elk goes walking by and you change your mind and want one of them instead. And you wouldn’t have to go through the hassle of entering a lottery and getting a special tag. Preserve owners are playing a vital role in current and future land conservation, and in providing the sustained opportunities to enjoy unforgettable hunts.”
