Hunting
Durhamtown Trophy Club
MISSION
- We want to manage and harvest Trophy Bucks that Trophy hunters would like to mount. We would like to allow the herd to reach its full potential at 4.5 years old or older.
- The club members will equally provide a Mineral and quality Feed program to achieve this goal.
- All members will contribute equally to make sure all goals are met.
- All club members will provide the best mineral/supplements and food source possible.
- Our goal is to manage the population of 2.5 Doe to 1 Buck ratio. This will allow our Bucks to have the opportunity to consume as much of the supplement as they desire for Maximum Antler growth.

SUPPLEMENT FEED & MINERALS FEED
- Corn alone does not count as supplement feed, at 7-8 % protein corn adds weight not antler growth.
- Corn blended with Soybeans yields Approx 20-24 % protein
- Corn blended with peanuts 30% protein
- Each feed mixture should be 50/50 to achieve a 20-25% protein or a feed mix of 18% or better.
- By using roasted corn and soybeans, it increases digestibility by 20-25% and also increases milk production by 25%.
- Other feed supplement 16% or better
MINERALS
- Trace minerals are 98% salt and have very little mineral value.(NOT recommended)
- All minerals need to have approx 20% or more calcium content.
- Mineral and quality of feed need to be Available DEC-SEPT during antler development and also improves fawn development.
- It is not recommended to use spreader feeders they produce Hogs. Gravity feeders are recommended.
- Add 16-24oz of minerals to 50lb feed. This allows the deer to consume a lot more mineral directly with each bag of feed. Ex: 200lb feed should have 80oz of minerals approx 2.5qts
