Mr. Mesnard

Your boot camp was awesome! What a fun day, I learned so much I thought my head may explode. You know deer and deer habits like no one I have ever seen or herd of. It is almost like you are part deer or some thing. When you said you wanted to be Grizzly Adams when you where a small boy. I had to laugh because before you said it, I was thinking "man this guy is like a modern day Grizzly Adams." But seriously the way you showed us how to make deer move around by funneling them by stands was awesome. I went home and made funnels by several of my stands the next day. Then the way you tie in the safe areas and food plots and break them up all over your property. You can see how when you're done setting a hunting spot you have the upper hand on the deer and your neighbors. Also the way you keep your records with the Buck Spy program and extensive note keeping Tom that is so impressive. Also the extremes you go to in your scent control, little things most guys would never think of. Just incredible, I would have not believed it if I hadn't seen it my self. I can say to anyone that is not tagging nice bucks on there hunting land every year, call Tom he can help you.

Thanks Tom / "Grizz"

Tom,

You where out to my hunting property at the end of January 2006, Tom I can not believe all the deer we have on our land now, all of the safe areas we made together are loaded with deer. We found the first two Shed antlers we have ever found here. I know you where right, the bucks just where not staying on our land. Let me tell you they are now! It is now April 6, 2006 I have been glassing fields from the spots you showed me. Like you said the deer never know I am there, and I saw 7 bucks in my old food plot last evening, you could already see the lumps on their heads where new antlers are growing. With the new plots we will plant this spring combined with our new safe areas you and I made, I can see we will control the deer like you said. We started our Lucky Buck mineral sites in March and the deer are tearing them up. I thank you for your help, Tom you are wise beyond your years when it comes to deer hunting and land management. You have a gift young man I am glad that you shared it with my family and I. Tom if you ever need a reference tell them to call me.

Tom, "The deer man"

When we talk about you that's what we call you "The deer man." You where out to my land in January for a land management. I learned more from you in one day, than I have learned in 31 years of hunting. I can not believe someone your age can be so knowledgeable about deer hunting and habitat for wildlife and deer movement. I do not doubt you at all when you say you do not come out of the woods much. Blown away to say the least, you should do a book or something. The deer are already using the safe areas we made together. I made the funnels by the new stands sites just like you showed me, and I can see from the new trails they will work just like you said. I almost have all of the plot sites cleared and ready to go for spring, you have gotten me more exited to hunt my land than I have been in many years. Tom, I am already seeing more deer on my property. I never thought it would work that fast on my 63 acres, but with how it is set up now it seems much larger. October can't come fast enough. I will keep you posted.

Thank you so much,
Ken Stole

 

Hi Tom,
Enclosed are some pictures of yourself and our nephew Joe Geromette, taken at the NWTF JAKES event put on by the Washtenaw Smoky Grays. He first shot a bow at a JAKES event 2 years ago, and persuaded his dad to buy him a bow for his birthday this past August. One of his uncles has been coaching him a bit, but he said he learned a lot form you that day. Thank you so much Tom for taking time with him. I think he has found a sport he can enjoy for years to come. Thank you again for helping out at the JAKES event.

Mr. Mesnard,
Well I will have to admit that when you where showing me how to hunt my property I was a little skeptical at first about it, you are such a young man and I was thinking can this young guy really walk my land and in a few hours tell me exactly how to set it up with bedding areas, food plots, funnels and show me where to put my stands. As well as how to hunt the property with out the deer knowing I was there. You told me how and showed me how and also explained I had to do my part with sent control and hunting stands at the right time of day. Tom I am now a believer. My son and I had our best deer season ever! We have never had so many deer on our land and we saw bucks almost every time we hunted. Before sometimes we did not see a deer. My son shot his best buck ever a 3 1/2 year old 8pt. That buck was also was the biggest buck ever shot here by anyone. I heard you are doing boot camps now as well save a spot for us.

Thanks, Tom
Mike Johnson
