Whitetail Challenge
Doe Management and Community Involvement
Culling is an issue that must be dealt with by every landowner that is striving to maintain a superior Whitetail herd. To assist with culling, the process of balancing the doe to buck ratio in the herd, North Branch formed a partnership with neighboring Radakovich Cattle Company to establish the North Branch Whitetails. The foundation serves as a non-profit organization that hosts the “Whitetail Challenge” each year.
The Challenge is an annual event that is dedicated to “youth and disabled hunters to experience Iowa’s prime hunting environment.” Each year, youth and disabled hunters are invited to come to the North Branch land and are guided by volunteers on a hunt with the goal of harvesting a doe. Now five years into this program, the foundation has partnered with the Department of Natural Resources, the Quality Deer Management Association and the Spinal Cord Injury Association of Iowa to gather the appropriate resources and equipment to host youth and disabled hunters of any age or ability.
