Jon Charles of River Oaks Wildlife Management |
As many of you have read on the site, Mike Lee has been our go-to guy at Tecomate Seed throughout the Food Plot Journey and he also spoke at our “Hunter’s Night Out”. Mike has been great throughout the whole process and he has endured my elementary level of knowledge of all things food plot related. Mike is now transitioning into a new role with the company and we wish him well in his new role. When you wear many hats at an organization this sometimes happens and so Mike will be concentrating on a different division and will thrive there as well.
Mike’s transition into a new role helped us meet another knowledgeable resource with regards to food plots and game management. Jon Charles, out of Raleigh NC, is stepping in to be the new Southeastern Regional Representative for Tecomate. I’ve spoken with Jon several times and he was also a featured speaker at the Pee Dee Deer Classic. I can tell you that he’s very educated about game management and food plots. Jon owns River Oaks Wildlife Management which is a professional wildlife management and consulting firm specializing in deer health, nutrition, wildlife habitat development, high forage food plots, crop production, custom deer feeds, and mineral supplements specifically designed for deer and elk. Jon brings a nice mesh between science and the outdoors that we can greatly benefit from. He is a well noted speaker and writes for several outdoor publications. Jon will be our new go-to guy at Tecomate for the remainder of the Food Plot Journey and is the new contact for Tecomate Seed in the Southeast. So if you’re looking for a very knowledge resource in the Carolinas with all things food plot / herd management related…or to get some Tecomate Seed, then Jon Charles is your guy!
So the Food Plot Journey continues and we are half-way there! It’s been a while already and I’ve learned a lot since January. We’ll be starting the process again and installing our fall plots in the coming weeks/months. I’ll continue to document that as well and I hope that we can get some good pictures throughout the fall/winter. I’m excited to try to get some more Tecomate products to grow again! I think I’m learning and the deer are benefitting…more to come.
In the mean time, here are 2 updated pics from the Remote Food Plot. I’m going to try to get updated images of the other plots soon as well.
Regards,
Clint
