Mark Buxton - Southeastern Wildlife Habitat Services

Mark Buxton - Southeastern Wildlife Habitat Services Producing top end bucks throughout the Southeast for 30 years I have planted and maintained more than 11,000 acres of food plots.

Known throughout the Southeast for improving deer herd quality and turkey numbers by improving habitat and nutrition quality. Previous instructor for Deer Steward I and Deer Steward II courses. In 1989, before it was thought possible, I became one of the first deer managers in the Southeast to implement a harvest strategy based on aging deer on the hoof. Clients throughout the Southeastern states with written management plans on properties ranging in size from 50 acres to 25,000 acres.

My man cave is full of antlers from different properties I have worked on and the barn is full of antlers. So, my wife let me start a new pile on the carport. I love my wife.

Producing large numbers of gobblers has never been much of a problem for me. I’ve stuck with the same management plans for 40 years. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

If I can get it done in late March instead of September it gives six months for forbs to grow and produce seed.

Still in a drought and 3 years in a row now, but clover is still doing all you can expect in these conditions.

I turned 65 last week and there’s still some things I haven’t done in my career. I don’t go to those deer forum pages and make derogatory comments about other consultants. I won’t hide behind a fake name or fictitious page. I don’t comment on other people’s pages even if I think they are wrong, but instead just move on. I won’t get in peeing contests on my page and surely won’t do it on others. I don’t share my posts to a dozen or more pages every day to try and pick up followers. I believe the best advertisement is word of mouth from those you have worked with. So, I guess you could say at 65 I’m old fashioned and haven’t adapted to the new ways of doing things. Well, maybe so, but I don’t plan on changing who I am. I’m a wildlife manager who spends most of his time in the woods and not on a keyboard.

Less than 24 hours after yesterday’s burn this area dominated by sweet gum and other hardwood has been reclaimed. Another year without fire and it would have probably been lost.
