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.

Client property and the same habitat that produced the younger superstar on the left also produced the older low quality buck on the right. The older lower quality buck is scheduled to be removed.

This is a perfect example of using multiple pictures to age bucks. If you look at the neck and chest of this buck you know he’s at least 4 or 5. If you look at the back half he could pass as a 3 or 4 year old. Having hundreds of pictures over multiple years he is a 5 year old.

Client property and that’s a five year old, but again notice the multi point frame.

That body and a small eight point frame will get him the view from the back of a Kubota.

This is the same buck from yesterday morning. Compare the left and right brow tines and G3’s. All pictures were from the past 30 days and I think you’ll agree his body appears different depending on which picture you are looking at. No, he’s not 10 like some insinuated. He’s 6 or 7. No, he’s not on the downhill side like some said. He actually has his best set of antlers this year. A six year old buck is not past his prime in terms of antler production.

The 8 point in front is older than the 11 point in back. The 8 point is more than likely going to make a young hunter very happy. So even though it’s a management buck it will be a “giant”.

For those who don’t have the ability to fill a feeder like the first picture, there is also a 1,250 lb low profile model like the second picture and can be filled from the back of a side-by-side or pick up truck. Several of my clients have the low profile model and like them. 

See the corn on the ground? He’s preferring the 16-3–17 feed we use or as the bait block guys call it “catfish feed”.

Safford Trading Company is one of the few companies I will promote and service is the reason why. Last week I had a breakdown while finishing up planting. They made a special trip to the warehouse that evening to see if they had what I needed and the next morning they took me to the warehouse to make sure it was what I needed. Read the text message. When people get enjoyment out of helping others it’s what makes the difference. 

That’s a four year old and even if the left side matched the right he would still be scheduled for a Kubota ride.

This might not have ended well for the younger buck.
