Changing Your Habitat Perspective with Sean Far Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

This week we're joined by Whitetail Properties Producer Sean Fahrendorf to discuss his feet to flame introduction to habitat management. Unlike many of us we built our knowledge over years of learning from others and our own personal failures, but for Sean once he got introduced to habitat management it was drinking from a fire hose.

S&F - So Simple a Man Could Do It with Maia Larson and Ciera Rhodes Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

Quail forever and Pheasants Forever have accomplished many things for private land across the nation, but they aren’t just improving the quail habitat; they're making great habitat for turkey, grouse and deer too! Today we are joined with two ladies that explain not only how to create great habitat for all wildlife, but ways to get the work paid for as well.

Cash Rent or Custom Farm Your Farm Land with Stephen Stockman Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

Not everyone has open or agricultural acres on their recreational farms, however, this conversation can still be beneficial for everyone to listen to. You may ask why, but the reason is, often times the status quo is not always the best fit or decision. Cash renting is very common for landowners, but in this podcast, you may learn more that there are better options out there. We bring on Whitetail Properties Agent Stephen Stockman who works across Northern Missouri selling farms!

Cash renting of farm acres are very clean exchange. Cash money for the control of agricultural acres. This is a very hands-off approach and has low responsibility on the landowner. But with lack of responsibility comes little power in crop rotations, fertilizing, and harvesting. On the flip side, custom farming is on the complete other side of the spectrum. All of the control is in the hands of the landowner. From, what to plant, how to plant, when to plant, etc... In addition, all of the risk regardless of the outcome falls on the landowner.

To learn which option is best for you, please tune in and share this podcast with each landowner you know!

10X TV - New Whitetail Adventures with Greg Glesinger Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

Greg Glesinger has a history of tagging giant whitetails, and when we say giant whitetails we aren't saying booners, we're talking 200" and bigger. In fact, Kasey Morgan and Greg are doing things in the whitetail space few people get to experience. This isn't happening by chance either, this is planned out through extreme habitat makeovers, planned out hunting strategy, and execution.

This new project will unfold on Sportsman's Channel next summer as well as new social media content. This will be Land & Legacy's way of jumping into whitetail content completely. We'll be packing cameras, podcasting, and doing all kinds of additional content focused on whitetail deer. From growing them, to building a farm for them, to hunting them., you'll find it all right here.

S&F Is it Deer Genetics or our Own Limitations with Dr Marcus Lashley Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

We often hear people say “we just don’t have the genetics to grow big deer around here”. On today's podcast we dive into this topic with Dr. Lashley as a follow up to a podcast he had done on Fire University titled “ Fire as a Tool to Increase Nutrient Availability in Lactating Does”. In a lot of cases it’s the deer adapting to what you have provided them and has nothing at all to do with genetics. Join us as we dive into this hot topic and explore what might be going on.

Should You Plant Natives or Let the Seed Bank Respond? Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

On this week's podcast we discuss whether it is necessary to plant natives or simply allow the seed bank to respond. We have a special guest and post-graduate student from the University of TN Bonner Powell. He completed some interesting research while a student that helps to break down the best ways to maximize the native response that could save you some money and time.

Most people tend to think that the more money you spend, the better quality you will get. In some cases this could be true, but it's not always the case when working the land. During the podcast you will hear just how valuable the seed bank is compared to planting natives. The results are pretty overwhelming and speak for themselves.

We also include some great tips on the future management of the site and how to best keep the area in good condition.

Sawdust and Fire! Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

As we grow, you get more content coming your way. Sawdust and Fire is a new podcast coming to the Land & Legacy feed. This podcast will be for the landowner. It is hosted by two passionate land managers, Thomas Baldridge and Hunter Johnson. Both residing from Arkansas, they put their personal training, passion, and knowledge into each podcast. They are not professionally trained, but that does not disqualify them from providing you with quality information in a digestible manner.

The main goal with Sawdust and Fire is to be as relatable as possible and unpack the heavy research into a landowner's perspective. These guys are excited to bring you new content with a personalized twist. The land management principles will be the same, but a new voice to enjoy! We hope you give Sawdust and Fire a listen each week.

Habitat is the Main Focus with Casey Bergthold Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

The group at Quail Forever is a lean mean habitat focused machine. They are keenly aware that the persistence of bobwhite quail and pheasants are dependent upon the habitat on the ground. So they cast a wide net to grab the attention of all land lovers.

We sit down with Casey Bergthold of Quail Forever to learn more about the organization and opportunities to put more habitat on the ground. A huge tool for this group is prescribed fire. So if you are apprehensive about using the tool, you need to contact your local Quail Forever agent to see if they can assist. It's important to remember if you want assistance, it is out there for you, you just need to reach out.

How to Maintain Your Clover Plots: Mow, Spray, or Both? Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

There is a heated debate over the topic of, whether should you mow your clover. There have been many schools of thought, but now a long-term research project has provided us, land managers, with the best option for perennial plot maintenance. Recreational mowing is often overused and done to the detriment of wildlife and perennial food plots.

The research conducted by the University of TN and graduate student Mark Turner showed that routine mowing reduced the amount of clover produced, reduced deer activity in the plot, and did not decrease the persistence of broadleaf weeds. Mowing was, however, recommended once during late summer to clip weeds prior them producing seed heads, but following up with an herbicide solution can provide a longer-term maintenance solution.

Don't mow just because you enjoy it. Research is only good and useful if it is applied. Remember a food plot's goal is to produce the most and highest quality forage per acre possible, so don't mow it off just to have something to do.

The Relationship of Culture and Game Species with Dr. James Martin Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Please take note during this podcast of the importance of hunting culture. This culture is essential to the resource. As hunter numbers shift and change over time, we will see a change in the influence we have on wildlife. The story over the last 40 years of the bobwhite quail is of the upmost importance to study and learn from. A once highly sought-after game animal is now in many regions unhuntable due to low and declining populations. Don't think for a minute that other game species such as the wild turkey are not capable of doing the same thing.

This podcast is not here to paint a picture of doom and gloom but to share a story that we HAVE to learn from. If we keep promoting the culture of hunting, we will preserve the opportunities to chase wild animals. Culture impacts our daily lives and the decisions we make. If you care about bobwhite quail and the wild turkey, let your actions show how important they are to you.
