Land & Legacy - The Secrets from a Game Rich Consulting Trip Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Recently, Kyle, Frank, and Matt headed south to central Florida to work on a new farm. The property owners were looking to improve the overall function of the property, habitat, and wildlife. We went in with high hopes and we weren't disappointed with what we saw. This property had less than drastic terrain features, yet the habitat types were extremely numerous and ever-changing. In total, the property's highest point was 46 feet and the lowest was 32 feet in elevation. The amazing part about this farm was the amount of cover it produced for species like quail, turkey, and whitetail deer. The cover was everywhere, almost too much! So we prescribed thinning certain areas and adjusting the composition of the cover. Overall the property in Florida was game rich and we break down all the reasons why! We hope you enjoy the lessons in land management that this property has to share. Even central Florida can be turned into a sportsmen's paradise with sound land and wildlife management techniques. #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Huntavore - Chewing the Fat with Dan Born Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

Dan Born, former board member of BHA and still active member, writer, and outdoor enthusiast resides in Southern Minnesota. His experience from his upbringing and joining the military has shaped Dan for how he approaches the outdoors. Dan isn't a gear junky, he isn't chasing new equipment from year to year, but his approach is what i'm guessing, a lot like many of us. “I want equipment that works well, good quality, and fits me and my style of hunting. Number one on his list is boots. Put the bulk of the dollars on what keeps you moving. Good Footwear is key. No matter if it's in high elevation or flat, low swamps. Good fit, keeps feet dry, supportive. Something where money can be saved is in the processing kit. Dan wrote an article about his outdoor knife roll. Not a single item eclipses $50. The items he chose are utilitarian and if get beat up, can get brought back to life quickly, no professional sharpening service needed. One add that I would put in the kit would be a honing rod or “steel”. Giving a knife a few strokes on a steel can keep you from having to sharpen as much and save you working as hard or worse, a good sized cut on the hand. The kit includes knives for large muscles, but also a small perry knife and heavy sheers or small game. While kits are available pre assembled, there can be a money saving, and a unique flair added to your kit, by making your own. Huntavore is Powered by Simplecast

N.F.C. - Pure Michigan Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

About two years ago Dan made a bet with Mark Kenyon that if he was ever able to quit his job and go independent that he would make a special trip to Michigan to bowhunt. The first year, Dan used a loophole in the bet to get out of the trip. The second year, because of cyber bullying and peer pressure, Dan decided to buck up and make this trip a reality. On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan gets in to a deep discussion about his recent trip to Michigan with local Mark Kenyon. They recap Dan's recent experiences, the culture of hunting in Michigan, the difference in deer behavior between the two states, and if Dan ever plans to come back . Whether you live in Michigan or a different high pressure state, or, in a "big buck" state like Iowa , this episode might open your eyes on what it's like to hunt in contrasting states or regions.

Land & Legacy - Missouri Buck Harvested Over Acorns with Seth Harker Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

On this week's podcast we have returning guest Seth Harker to discuss his recent harvest of a mature buck over acorns. This is usually a very tall feat for most as trail cameras played a small role and woodsmanship skills are left to pick up the rest of the pieces. This story is exactly that! Seth watched this buck throughout the summer months almost daily. He knew the area well that this buck was frequenting. Once season opened, he was high on the target list. With only 1 trail camera image in two weeks, Seth managed to stay on this buck's trail by observing natural food sources. Black oak acorns were falling and the deer and turkey revealed their desired food source at the time. A middle of the season scouting trip found the best location to intercept this buck! Listen as Seth tells the story of the hunt and be sure to watch it all unfold on the Land & Legacy Youtube Channel. We hope you enjoy and learn somehting about mid-season scouting techniques. Trail camera images didn't reveal this pattern, scouting and knowing desired food sources sealed the deal! Enjoy and share! #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast
