It matters what plants are growing on a site and we discuss how there are commonly more useful plants per acre up north than in the south. So, essentially there is more to work with or less to terminate or remove, making the job easier!

How to Mentally Prepare for A Property Transformation Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

This can easily be the largest hurdle for most landowners to overcome. How to do prepare best for a complete 180-degree change of a hunting property? Some of the major habitat changes such as a timber harvest, adding cattle to recreational property, edge feathering, and. many other very visual techniques. You have to mentally prepare for this!

With our own ongoing projects beginning we walk you through firsthand the ways that we have begun to accept the imminent changes to our property. The best way we found to prepare, is to have an end goal in mind for that specific acre being impacted. What is the desired future condition? What is the best and fastest practice to get me? Once you have these two questions answered, the only thing left to do is pull the trigger. The confusion, apprehensiveness, and uneasy feelings many people go through come from uncertainty from the value that practice brings to the overall goal. Once you know the value and best way to get there, its easier to prepare for a property overhaul.

Share this with someone who needs to make some big long-term decisions with their farm! Enjoy.Learn.Share. #ForLoveoftheLand

Leaving a Legacy With Your Recreational Property Jul 06, 2021

You can't deny the change! Take a look for yourself. Will and his family have left a positive and legacy impact on this recreational property.

This farm now has diversity, whereas before it was a homogeneous, closed-canopy forest before with a few dotted food plots. However,, those days are gone! With the timber harvested as recommended, access was improved, as was the diversity of the plant communities, increased woody browse and cover. This property will never be the same!

Soil Health Series Finale Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

During this podcast, we wrap up the final thoughts from the Soil Health series. This podcast has been a long time coming that will take all the fluff and boil it down to what should wildlife managers really be concerned with.

Everyone wants the best results, we can all agree on that, however, you cant skip ahead when the foundation isn't even set yet. Why get fancy, when you can't even grow a simple productive plot yet. The basics need to be met first, then we can begin to take a bite off the larger piece of the pie. You need to realize although the soil is the building block of life, it has to be broken down into finding the balance. Although it can be complicated, build off the basics and shoot for the balance, the rest will take care of itself.

We hope you enjoy this podcast series wrap-up! Let us know your thoughts.

Summer Isn't As Glorious For Wildlife As You Think Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

Although summer may seem to be like you can breeze right through it thinking all is taken care of in the wildlife world. However, that would be short-sided. There are several factors that people always overlook during the summer timeframes.

Summer thermal cover for species such as bobwhite quail, wild turkey, and whitetail deer is key! It's often overlooked, but you can't forget about it, because there are essential elements to create quality summer thermal cover. Summer thermal cover is comprised of several elements, shade, wind speed, topography, and appropriate forb development.

In addition to this, environmental factors such as insects, ticks, and mites increase stress, so summer thermal cover doesn't just mean cooler temperatures, but parasite management as well! You will be shocked at how much these parasites cause stress on the individuals. Be sure to check it out!

This Does Not Equal That Part 2 Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

On this podcast, we get down into the weeds, literally. It's time to clearly define the difference between old fields and abandoned fields. At first glance, they may look similar, but the functionality of the two is far from equivalent.

So please follow along with our social media post that highlights the two photos we discuss throughout this podcast. You will be examining photos from Southern Iowa and Southwestern Ohio, one is productive and the other is a wildlife wasteland for now.

You are going to want to follow along closely with Part 2 to take your land and habitat management understanding to the next level.

Progress on the New Farms Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

During this podcast, you will hear from two new landowners who are working diligently to get some habitat work completed. Since closing on the properties, time has been the limiting factor, but that is changing and projects are getting completed.

This podcast discusses how a new fencing project will be one of the most impactful projects on the farm as cows will be managed for the first time, opposed to them roaming freely. In addition, trees are hitting the dirt. More sunlight will be spurring on new regeneration on both farms through a timber harvest as well as a giant bedding thicket project.

We also need your help to name these farms. We've got our ideas, but we need your thoughts!

The Unknown Variables to Growing Bigger Bucks Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

We've all read articles and seen videos about the ways to grow bigger antlers. Often times the conversation revolves around feeding programs, mineral stations, genetics, and the age of the animal. Well, all those may play a small role, what about stress? For many years we have been pondering the idea of how to quantitatively evaluate the stress placed on individual deer within a herd, obviously, we are still searching for that answer, but we have many cases studies where lower stress levels in the population and on the landscape have resulted in huge antler increases.

If you want to learn the forgotten or overlooked variables of growing larger deer, think about how widely spaced the resources are across the landscape. Are deer using more energy than they should access what they need? If so, that's unnecessary stress! In this podcast, we break down the dirty details of antler growth. To learn how to make the most of your landscape to shoot larger deer, consider giving this podcast a listen.
