Southern Ground Hunting - Finding Pockets Of Deer | Drew's "Tale of Two Bucks" Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

There's an old phrase that hunters often use, "don't leave deer to find deer". That phrase holds true in today's podcast. Drew recaps his last two weeks of hunting, telling the stories of two different bucks he's killed since the last time we talked. We break down his hunt by talking about what led him to hunt that area. Not rubs, not scrapes, but good old fashioned deer tracks. The guys discuss the important of finding tracks and why it's an incredibly productive sign to look for. Drew tells us about this area where he had found a ton of tracks, and after hunting it several times the deer sightings did not seem to slow down. We've talked to several guests who consistently kill deer out of the same tree, which might go against the "first sit, best sit" theory. In this case, Drew continued to hunt this same spot and eventually it paid off. While the majority of this property has a pretty low deer density, this spot seemed to be a pocket. We've learned that once you've found a pocket of deer, you've found a great thing! Southern Ground Hunting is powered by Simple Cast.

Land & Legacy - Hunting the Rut Success in Bedding Areas Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

Land management can take years to show improvement right? Wrong! Land & Legacy client Louie Zinn had a season to remember this fall. Adam worked with Louie in January of 2020 on his farm in western Illinois and they addressed the main habitat issues he was facing. Like many people in the midwest he was missing some key features to bring his property to the next level. Quality cover is something that is greatly overlooked and isn't hard to create. With Eastern Red Cedar encroachment occurring throughout the farm this was louie's first project. By adding diversity and cutting the cedar trees Louie found immediate results and the deer were taking advantage of it! By utilizing a chainsaw and cutting cedars and thinning outer undesirable species with a mix of hinge cuts and flush cuts woody browse and cover were quickly added to the farm. Through habitat restoration and property architecture Louie and his friend were able to tag two giant bucks on his farm less than a year after running the chainsaw! He's just getting started! Tune in to hear his story and how he's looking forward to the future! #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Land & Legacy - Difference between Bedding Areas and Sanctuaries? Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

Time to set the record straight on terminology. Some of the most common phrases in the world of wildlife often get used incorrectly and then rarely implemented appropriately. The term bedding thicket and sanctuary are NOT interchangeable. Sanctuaries are often large vast areas that receive little to no human intrusion. The lack of human intrusion then begins the assumption that the area is secure and holding deer. A secure area doesn't necessarily hold deer, but an area that offer secure cover does! That is the main difference between a sanctuary and a bedding thicket. The presence of actual deer cover is critical to see wildlife actually respond to it positively. You will certainly want to join us on this podcast as we break down the important differences between these key terms in property layout. Enjoy. Learn.

Land & Legacy - Two Cruising Bucks Hit the Dirt Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

During this episode, we review the first few days of Missouri Firearms season. To say it went off with a bang would be an understatement. Matt was fortunate to find success on the third morning of the season as a familiar 10-pointer showed himself. We break down the hunt, topography features, behavior, previous encounters, and hunts, that lead to this success. The buck barely covered 60 yards before piling up insight. This action was pretty fast, but, we captured it all on film, so be sure to follow along on the Youtube Channel to catch that action. Just two days after Matt's success on the lease, Matt took Michael Schupbach (brother-in-law) out for his first hunt in many years. With limited time to be in the woods, Michael wanted to put his tag on some venison, little did he know, this first deer of the morning was a 20 inch wide 6 pointer! This buck almost got away, but Michael got the green light and delivered a lethal shot. This happened to be Michael's first buck! So we were thrilled to document the hunt and help a beginning hunter seal the deal. You will want to follow along to hear the details of these two awesome hunts. Bucks were cruising hard and covering lots of ground this week! #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

DIY Sportsman - Missouri Rut Recap Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

This podcast is a rut recap from my 3rd annual Missouri hunt. This hunt starts with a day-by-day breakdown of what areas were scouted, what decision was made based on deer sign available at the time and the overall context of peak breeding timeframe. Overall, I managed to spot around 25 deer in the four days of hunting the big rolling timber, and had shot opportunities, as did other people in the group. The back end of the podcast recaps more of a lessons learned, and strategy changes based on hindsight. It also dives into advice for others finding themselves in the same type of scenario, which might have been different than what I did with the group hunt atmosphere and location.
