Land & Legacy - Habitat + Hunting Land & Legacy

Kyle Lybarger joins Alan Summerford to talk about turkey hunting strategies that were used on previous hunts. We also break down what we are seeing on different timings of fire, fire intervals, and how it relates to hunting, and nesting based on when the fire was applied.

Today Brady and Matt discuss recent consultations from across the country, they all have one thing in mind, the starting point and the end point of each farm is different. WE will dive deep into how we approach various farms and how no matter what Tier they start at, we know what the following steps will look like. The road to transforming farms is a journey, if you don't know where you are starting and where you are going, you will never end up there.

Big timber and rugged terrain. Kyle Lybarger joins Alan Summerford on a property that is in a conservation easement for old growth timber. As we breakdown the property, we discuss issues with allowing timber to mature without disturbance, and addressing the importance of a sound hunting strategy to grow, hold, and harvest mature bucks with consistency. Sometimes habitat whether good or bad isn't the most limiting factor.

Sometimes it feels like we speak out of both sides of our mouth. Is burning great? Yes, Is burning hurting your habitat? Sometimes yes.

Last year we had our Nationwide brood habitat contest and it was a success. A lot of great habitat was put on the ground and a lot of great prizes were donated. Should we have another contest this year? Let us know your thoughts!

It shouldn't all be doom and gloom with turkeys these days, this podcast is an upbeat discussion of the turkey population comeback and the quail sightings!
