Current guidance
As of 2026-04-12, the most recent claim on this subject.
Most recent guidance centers on pausing the traditional on-farm Whitetail Master Class while Don reworks his property, including newly expanded orchards and Miscanthus plantings; Terry suggests giving that planting a couple more years to mature before resuming property-tour classes. Rather than resuming the old format, Terry and Don describe developing a new master class concept they say is unlike anything else in the hunting industry, with a goal of potentially rolling out the new events this coming winter. Listener questions about whether on-site field days will return once farm projects finish, or whether any master class is scheduled, are met with this same answer: no return to the old format yet, but a new spin on the concept in progress.
