CRSC practices Quality Deer Management (QDM) on all of their leased properties. Many members are active members of QDMA. Members are encouraged to let younger bucks mature by harvesting bucks over 8 points or at least 3-1/2 years old. In addition, the herd is balanced by reducing doe numbers in order to achieve a higher buck to doe ratio.

Wildlife Management means different things to different people but ultimately it comes down to providing better habitat and selective harvesting. CRSC not only manages their properties for deer and turkeys but also for grouse, waterfowl, doves and other upland game.

Controlling predators like coyotes and foxes are also a part of the CRSC management plan. Other varmints such as ground hogs (woodchucks) can also present problems to farm equipment and out buildings. Some of our members participate in "varmint round-ups" each year on CRSC property and neighboring farm lands to help keep these animal population in check.

Fishing Ponds are also managed to maintain a healthy population of fish for our members who enjoy fishing. Stocking, fertilizing and monitoring are a few common practices CRSC uses in their pond management program.

CRSC has members who are also active participants in the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). They help conduct reintroductions, relocations and releases of mature adult wild turkeys into various parts of Ohio and neighboring states. We also have members who belong to Whitetails Unlimited and support those fundraising activities. We encourage members to join a local NWTF or WTU chapter or participate in local chapter activities to show their support.
