DIY Sportsman - Summer Public Land Trail Camera Strategies Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

Trail cameras are the topic of today's discussion. In particular, I'll be talking about summer strategies on public land. It seems like much of the info we hear on summer trail cameras focuses around putting them in high visibility areas, along field edges, fence rows, or next to minerals. Well, what if you don't have access to agriculture? What if minerals or other feed is illegal on the land that you hunt? What if you're afraid of theft in high traffic areas? Well, today I'm going to outline some alternative strategies that I'll be employing throughout the summer to try and inventory several different pieces of public across multiple states to get a good preparation for the upcoming season. In addition to discussing what some of the higher odds locations to place those cameras might be, I also talk about camera density in an area, how to minimize false triggers, maximize the number of true triggers, and how to keep those pesky ants from destroying your camera electronics.

Southern Ground Hunting - Aggressive Public Land Whitetail Strategies in the BIG WOODS with Johnny Stewart Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

It's not often that we bring on a guest from outside of the southeast. When we do, you better listen up because they're about to bring the heat. Our guest this week is a mature buck killer named Johnny Stewart. Johnny primarily hunts the big woods of Pennsylvania, targeting big bucks in the big woods. Over the years, he has built up quite the reputation for himself as a deer hunter, as he has seen exceptional success in areas that see a lot of hunting pressure. This week, we're talking to Johnny about his aggressive tactics when hunting these bucks that see as much or more pressure than most parts of the country, which is why we think you'll be able to apply some of his strategy to your own scenario. Perhaps one of the greatest and most unique approaches he has is how he in-season scouts, especially in a new area. Buckle up buttercup! The man's about to spit some fire at you!

Ohio Huntsman - Turkeys and Buying Land Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

This week on the show we discussed some updates on our spring turkey seasons. Jason walked us through his last turkey hunt and Jeff also discussed his latest attempts to bag a spring gobbler. We then discussed the importance of hunting land and specifically access to that land long term. We have seen first hand and heard countless examples of guys who have had access to land on word of mouth or permission and then lose that access to that land. We discussed how important it has become to do whatever you can to acquire land that you own in order to ensure your future hunting and also ensure your family has land to hunt in the future. We also cover that even leased land is not a guarantee that it will always be available for you to lease and that if able you would be better off annual lease money into purchasing your own land.

Land & Legacy - Turkey Report w/ Mark Drury, Michael Hunsucker, and Shawn Luchtel Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

Where have all the turkeys gone?! It's a common question we've been hearing through much of the United States and it's a very complex answer. We decided to check in this week with some of the most popular hunters in Missouri who have hunted here for many years to see what trends they've witnessed and things they're doing to help improve turkey numbers. Mark Drury of Drury Outdoors has been at the top of our list for successful turkey hunters for a long time. Going back to the days when Adam filmed for Drury Outdoors he's always respected the passion Mark has for the wild turkey. MArk continues to have a successful spring even with numbers down statewide, so we're getting to the bottom of why? Next up Michael Hunsucker and Shawn Luchtel from Heartland Bowhunter have seen a drastic difference in turkey numbers from the early 2000s and it's quite concerning to them. We discuss what they believe might be leading into the numbers decline and how they're managing their farms to help both deer and turkeys. Regardless, we all have ideas at how we can help the turkeys, from lowering tags offered, to ending the fall turkey season to year round trapping of predators, but getting the Department of Conservation to make the first move will be the trickiest move yet. #forloveoftheland Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Land & Legacy - Buck Beds Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

On this week's podcast, we discuss some recent findings on our consultation trips. These times in the field are priceless with countless observations of how wildlife are utilizing certain habitat features. One of the more reoccurring things we see are isolated and routinely used beds, often referred to as "buck beds". Buck Beds have gotten a lot of attention lately, however, one of the most missed features of this is that adequate cover is often limited. When quality cover is limited, we see routine beds, often used day in and day out. Although consistent bedding is good, having abundant, quality, secure, cover is even better. The next time you find a buck bed, look at the structure, consider how to create more of that on the landscape as opposed to how can you hunt that location?
