Land & Legacy - Managing For Improved Age Structures Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

On this podcast, you will hear the recipe for having more big bucks on the landscape. This isn't rocket science, yet it seems hunters get caught up in genetics and food plots constantly. If you want more deer with bigger antlers then develop an age structure that allows deer to reach maturity. Plain and simple. As the season begins to open up in your neighborhood, you are immediately faced with decisions. Do you harvest certain bucks or not? Without fail, we will hear, if I don't my neighbor will... Well, guess what, if you do, then your neighbor will not, regardless, you don't control every outcome. But every time you kill a but in defense of a neighbor, it dies. It doesn't get older and you were the road block between developing the age structure you wanted, not anyone else. The secret recipe for big bucks comes not by buying products but with education, habitat, and age structure. The age structure can be influenced by not harvesting younger age class deer, offering secure cover, and creating a wildlife co-op. These are the options, what will you do differently? #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Land & Legacy - A Deeper Understanding of Weather Fronts with Bryan Jackson Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

We had to reach out to the experts on this topic. Bryan Jackson of the National Weather Service is an experienced meteorologist who works day in and day out studying weather. Bryan is a part of an experienced team that predicts the precipitation levels across the country. He joins us this week to teach us more about the weather. Any hunter or land manager needs to have a comprehensive understanding of interpreting weather conditions. We spent time this week discussing how weather fronts are formed and the impact they have on things such as barometric pressure, prevailing winds, and precipitation. In addition, we breakdown the most recent hurricane Laura as many of us took cover or advantage of the rainfall and planted our food plots ahead of her arrival. There is so much to learn as we find out from Bryan. Weather predictions are not clear cut and dry. They are educated guess based on how thousands of variables will play out, so we have much to learn. Take a few minutes to learn about the natural world and how it plays a huge part in our daily life. This podcast will leave you wanting to learn more about weather events and the climate in your region. #ForLoveoftheLand. Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Iowa Sportsman - Camouflaged Conservation Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

Some outdoorsmen think that just because they buy a hunting license, tags and stamps, this means that they are automatically a conservationist. While that may be true in a round about way, there is way more that goes in to supporting conservation efforts then just being a hunter or fisherman. On this episode of the Iowa Sportsman Podcast, Dan talks with Kent Boucher about the true meaning of being a Conservationist. Iowa Sportsman is Powered by Simplecast

DIY Sportsman - Spartan Forge with Bill Thompson Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode I have Bill Thompson as a guest to talk about Spartan Forge. In essence, this is an app that hunters would be able to utilize to tell them when and where are the best times and places to hunt. What makes Spartan Forge unique, however, is how those predictions are made. See, Bill has spent a couple decades working in military intelligence where massive amounts of data are filtered through computers to identify patterns. Then the computers will use those patterns to predict what will happen on future events. This is what's referred to as machine learning, and a big part of the beginning of the podcast goes into a little more detail on exactly what's going on, and why such a massive amount of data couldn't be analyzed meaningfully by an individual or even groups of individuals. During development, Spartan Forge's machine would be fed more and more data to make it more accurate, but would then be tested against new real world deer data to assess accuracy. So, really, there's no human bias. As a data guy myself, I found this whole discussion very interesting. DIY Sportsman is Powered by Simplecast
