There is nothing more important than sharing our love and passion for the outdoors with the next generation. This week we discuss what we have tried to do to introduce our own children to the outdoors and also why we feel it is so important to introduce children to the outdoors.

Land & Legacy - Timber Management in the North Woods May 26, 2020

Show notes

This Spring has been one to remember from chasing turkeys to burning down the roads on consulting trips. Two recent trips took Adam to the hills of Central Pennsylvania and Matt to the lakes of Minnesota. These two northern regions created some important field observations and similar management strategies. When traveling and working in different regions of the country it is important to recall the significance of each area. There are no cookie-cutter situations where all the techniques work the same and the climate conditions are similar. On our trips, we both recognize that woody browse is so incredibly significant to understand and produce, there are various ways to accomplish this. For Adam, timber harvesting was critical and being executed routinely. On the other hand, TSI and shrub plantings were the recommendations for Matt in his region. Without a doubt, principles of habitat management don't change, however, each and every region must be studied and examined to produce the best habitat that is suitable for wildlife. is applicable. We hope you enjoy learning about the management opportunities that each region has even if you are from other portions of the country.

Land & Legacy - Expanding Travel Corridors and Increasing Diversity May 26, 2020

Show notes

Back on the road again, Matt and Frank discuss a recent trip to the heart of deer country in SouthEast Kansas. Working with new landowners is always enjoyable, but these two, a father and son, have an incredible work ethic and desire to improve habitat the right way. They aren't looking for quick fixes, they know the work before themis going to be tough, but rewarding. So we developed a plan for them to use in transforming a simple travel corridor into a deer holding and hunting mecca. This 120 acres of an abandoned homestead is the only cover around for a large area. Two large creek systems flow through the farm north to south that is surrounded by native pastures and dotted agriculture fields. You can see as it lays by examining and aerial that this farm would be attracting deer along this large corridor. However, that is isn't satisfactory, the goal is to maximize each and every acre! So we are going to expand existing corridors, create new ones running east to west with the existing cover andslow deer down as they hit the farm by creating new food resources and superior bedding. I cannot wait to get the success photos back from these two! This farm is ready for an overhaul and these two landowners are just the pair to do. #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Huntavore - Non-Hunters are Noticing May 25, 2020

Show notes

Freelance writer, Sarah Engstrand went on a journey writing an article outside of her normal scope of life. She wrote the article “Hunters See Their Hobby as a Food Source Amid COVID-19 Pandemic” Not a stranger to food and the culinary world, she understands the language of feeding self and others she took the opportunity to talk to several hunters and anglers about their wild food supply. Noticing the shorter the food chain, the less that these food shortages had an effect. Join Nick as he talks to a non-hunter who has noticed the bright side of acquiring your own meat. Show Notes Sarah Engstrand is a Freelance writer, editor, and Public Relations consultant for restaurants in Hong Kong. She covers many subjects in her writing, and lots of exotic locations. She undertook the task of writing about hunters and their wild game harvest. With the quick development of the covid virus pandemic and soon after, a meat shortage, her story took a slight turn to how the shortage had little effect on folks who are self-reliant when it comes to meat. Not only was she able to grasp what we do as hunters and why we do it, but that it doesn’t go without a lot thought and concern for the game we chase. She had understanding of seasons and tags, but was enlightened to how much conservation plays into our lifestyle. She also found it fascinating, as small of a community that hunters and anglers makeup of the whole population, we are semi separated into our own “tribes” of thoughts on what animals to take. None of this is news to those who hunt and fish. However, folks who do not are feeling the effects of these shortages, and are taking notice of that having connection where their food comes from might be something they change in their own lives.

Show notes

The Pro Talk Outdoors team had one heck of a circus-like turkey season while filming season four of their original series "In A Strut" set to air in 2021. They ran along some major accidents, misses, a run in with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife, and one TON of fun. Give this episode a listen to catch all of that, as well as how one set a personal best bird, and another got their first ever. Hook 'Em or Hunt 'Em! Pro Talk Outdoors is Powered by Simplecast
