Show notes

During this week's podcast, we continue with our Prescribed Fire Series. Last week we covered all of the tools you will need to get started burning, so now that you are fully equipped, it's time to cover how to implement a fire. This week, we cover how to burn within the timber. Some new research out of Auburn just found that a reduction of the canopy by 30% and a follow-up fire will result in a 500% increase in deer food per acre. So, now that we have your attention, it's important to burn your timber, but it should be done properly. This week we discuss the ideal conditions for burning in the timber as well as different firing techniques and how to prepare burn lines. If you've dreamed of using prescribed fire to improve your habitat, but haven't actually implemented it, then this podcast is for you! We will take you from start to finish on how to use prescribed fire on your property. Let us know what you learned this week from this podcast! #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Missouri Woods & Water - So You Want To Hunt Out West? Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

Are you thinking about or have already made the decision to hunt out west? If so, now is the time to start preparing for your trip. Mark Livesay with Treeline Pursuits comes on to talk about just that, providing tips about preparing for your first trip out west. First, Mark tells a hilarious story about his first hunt out west and how making mistakes is part of the experience as you start your elk hunting journey. He gives two great Facebook groups that are great for new hunters, those being "Non Resident Western Big Game Hunters" and "Elk Addicts''. Mark gives all kinds of advice throughout this show, but the number one bit he has is don't let all of the little details that go into hunting out west detour you from making the leap. Just do it. The most important thing you should be focusing on is planning the hunt, things like gear are strictly secondary. Spend your time developing your hunt plan around your group's capabilities, researching areas, multiple backup areas, etc. Another thing to consider is the long game and looking at states that you may be able to hunt a few seasons down the road. We even go down some rabbit holes about drawing in certain states and he explains what point creep is. He also explains what Treeline Academy is and how it can help the new and seasoned non resident hunters alike better prepare themselves to locate elk. He also talks about other services that he likes to utilize like GoHunt, Elk 101, OnX, Gaia GPS, Toprut, and others. There is plenty of information Mark gives in this episode if you are thinking about taking the leap. Missouri Woods & Water is Powered by Simplecast

Land & Legacy - We Bought a Farm! Expanding the Family Farm Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

Dreaming of buying ground is a very popular dream for almost anyone who enjoys hunting, but if you're like Adam and his brother Chad the dream consists almost entirely of buying land that borders the family farm. In 1952 their Grandpa purchased what is now the family farm, but after last week we've managed to expand the size and are looking forward to the future restoration! Using a creative approach they were able to utilize a farm loan set up by the Farm Service Agency to establish a plan to run the farm where it almost solely pays for itself. By incorporating cattle, timber management, and replicating nature this farm will be unlike most farms you'll see. From dry arid glades to wet beaver swamps, they have plans to push back the normal and create a template for future landowners to build off of and restore landscapes in your next of the woods. Tune in this week to hear all the plans they have to bring back the Bobwhite quail, grow MORE 190" bucks, and work the ground with a business mindset to avoid those costly mistakes.
