Steven Lachenmayr : Mossy Oak Properties Tennessee Land & Farm

Having been raised on a farm, Steven Lachenmayr developed a great love of the outdoors and God's creation. Steven is a people person, and as you get to know him, you will see that he loves nothing more than sharing his passion for the great outdoors and especially land stewardship. There is always much to learn from a conversation with Steven! One of Steven's outdoor passions is bow hunting. Forty-nine years ago, he gave up the guns and has strictly pursued whitetail with his bow. This decision has led to many blessings, including meeting many wonderful people, experiencing the ephemeral beauty of a November sunrise, and beholding the majesty of the whitetail buck. In this time, Steven has become a very proficient hunter and has taken more than his fair share of trophy bucks. One important thing he has learned has been to balance his hunting, his work, and his family life. Today, Steven and his wife, Mattie, work to enjoy life each day as they walk with the Lord. The Lord blessed Steven with a tract of land to mold and shape. From the very beginning, his goal was to make it the very best whitetail habit it could be. This entailed planting thousands of trees and bushes, dozens of acres of warm season grasses and acre after acre of food plots. Steven found great success, not only in taking mature whitetails, but also in being recognized as "Conservation Landowner of the Year" in Region Five by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
