Brandon Butler
Finding a place to hunt is the greatest challenge sportsmen face today. Private property is becoming harder to attain, and not everyone can afford to lease land. Listen in as outdoor writer Brandon Butler explains how to take advantage of Indiana’s nearly half-million acres of public property. Learn the ins-and-outs of the Hoosier National Forest, as well as DNR state forests, fish and wildlife areas, and state recreation areas. Each year, thousands of quality whitetails and turkeys are taken on public ground. Attend this seminar so you can learn how you can take advantage of property you already have permission to hunt.

Jim Wilson
Jim is 63 years old and killed his first deer when he was 15. His first deer was eating acorns when he shot it, it didn't take him long to figure out the best way to hunt and shoot deer was over a food source
His first food plot attempt was when he was a junior in high school, it was a disaster. He also introduced multi-flora rose to the family farm and it is still there.
He spent 27 years in the Navy Sea Bees, when he was home on leave he planted food plots. He retired in September of 1991, the day he came home he plowed and planted 2 food plots. In 2001, he leased 1600 acres and started OZARK MOUNTAIN OUTFITTERS, food plots are the key to their success. Jim now plants 40 to 50 food plots a year.
Food plots on a budget is the way they do business. Through trial and error they have come up with what works best for them and it does not Break the Bank. Come to their seminar and see how OZARK MOUNTAIN OUTFITTERS and Jim Wilson plant food plots on A BUDGET!!!!
