Tom Mesnard owner of Total Land Management with 11 of the 16 record book bucks he has taken from Michigan in the last 12 seasons, 5 of the 16 came from public land. He has taken 9 more out of state 8 of them coming from public ground. He has 25 trophies mounted total, all but 3 where taken with archery equipment. Tom has taken 20 deer that would score over the P&Y min.  He has never hunted with an outfitter or hunted from a stand/blind he did not set himself. He has never been on a guided hunt or hunted large private ground. Amazingly, his largest MI buck came off only 16 acres.

The 6 bucks in this picture came off 16 acres in 7 years. They all would make P&Y min. The top three score 175”NT, 168”TP and 156”TP.  They where taken in back to back to back seasons. If I can grow and harvest deer like this in MI on 16 acres I feel I can do it anywhere. I have been setting up and consulting on hunting properties since I was 14 years old. I would do it for hunting permission when I was younger. I have been consulting as my job since 1990 when I got out of school. I have over 25 years experience. I have been planting wildlife food plots for almost 30 years. The Total Land Management Team has set up and consulted on 1,000’s of properties in 10 US States and in Canada.

I let my clients results speak for themselves. I have many happy clients all over the U.S. and Canada. After all it does not matter if I kill big deer every year if YOU, my clients, don’t..!!

This is a buck taken by one of my Wisconsin Clients this season. One year after I went to their hunting property and did a land management plan for them. We found one of this guy’s sheds while I was there and they took him this season, “08”. He may be the largest typical taken in North America for the 2008 season. He will score around 198”.

This is Wyat Harmon with his 2008 buck, and his proud dad Scott Harmon. This is Wyat’s first buck..!  We at Total Land Management treat our clients like family. I give you my word I will help you make your dreams of a life time happen on your hunting property. Because as hunters we all know no matter it be a 200” state records buck or your son or daughters first deer, they are all once in a life time memories… that are priceless.  We will take you and your hunting property to the highest level.  What’s just as important is we will do it a fair price and treat you right all the time…every time.

We will show you how to grow, hold, and harvest mature bucks on your hunting land. We will teach you hunting techniques that help you to be consistent on mature bucks. Tom has spent over 300 days a year in the woods consulting, developing land management, food plot and hunting techniques for mature bucks since 1990. You will not find anyone with more experience. A hunting and land management plan from T.L.M. is the best money can buy.

Don Higgins had his first article published in North American Whitetail magazine in 1998 and has since written numerous articles for most of the major hunting magazines. In 2006 Don published his first book, "Hunting Trophy Whitetails in the Real World" (see www.higginsoutdoors.com) which has been well recieved by the biggest names in the hunting industry as well as everyday deer hunters across North America. When not hunting whitetails or writing about them, Don enjoys creating quality habitat on his own land as well as for others. In fact Don owns and operates Higgins Tree Farm which specializes in conservation tree planting projects for CRP, WRP and other government programs. Don has planted literally millions of trees on thousands of acres for a multitude of landowners and government agencies. Higgins Tree Farm also supplies seedlings to numerous landowners for planting on their properties. Don is excited to team up with Tom Mesnard of Total Land Management as he feels that they compliment each other and together will have the experience and knowledge to improve the habitat and whitetail hunting on virtually any property.
