NORWICH – Chenango County Farm Bureau (CCFB) President Bradd Vickers and Central New York Quality Deer Management Association (CNY QDMA) President John Rybinski teamed up last night, March 2, to provide an educational overview on deer management to residents of the Chenango County area.
The event, held at SUNY Morrisville Norwich Extension, attracted a large crowd who would learn about basic annual whitetail needs for habitat and food.
“I was pleased that John Rybinski from the Syracuse area was willing to work with CCFB to provide great programs and speakers to this area,” said Vickers. “Tim (Russell), Ben (Williams), and John (Rybinski) had to drive a ways to share their information.”
Ben Williams of Ol' Tin Cup Habitat Enhancement used photos and drawings demonstrating how successful food plots operate, and he provided numbers of an ideal buck-to-doe ratio to strive for in order to successfully manage a hunting area.
“Ben pointed out that food plots are not always the last 'piece for your puzzle,' but in time, may be the key to getting the buck you have been trying to get for years,” said Vickers.
QDMA Young Forest Specialist Tim Russell went on to provide a history of forests in New York and how and why the state government initially became involved in the forestry management business. Russell explained why young forests have been declining, and what attendees could do to alter that trend.
Russell also provided an overview of the kind of wildlife that rely on young forest habitats, including some that the audience were unaware were being introduced to the northeast region. He also explained a number of methods used to create and maintain young forest habitats, which will provide food and shelter to various wildlife.
In closing, Rybinski of CNY QDMA said, “This is the first (presentation) I have ever done in (Chenango County), but after seeing the enthusiasm and attendance, I will plan on doing at least one a year with CCFB in the area.”
Vickers went on the thank the many attendees for their interest, as well as those who were responsible for putting the program together.
