We interview hunters and habitat managers from across the country, picking their brain to learn their success's and failures. We are different in the fact that we are not the experts. This podcast is for us and the listeners to learn a thing or two, from the experts we analyze.

Aspen trees are vital for wildlife habitat, especially at a younger age
Creating a diverse hunting environment with topography helps attract deer
Regular habitat improvements have also enhanced turkey hunting
Strategically improving trail systems allows for better hunting opportunities
Habitat improvements have greatly enhanced the attractiveness of the property for both deer and turkey

Secrets of killing big bucks
Heck of a podcast look forward to listening to it every week. You can learn a lot from the guys hunting public land and learn a lot to manage your own land.
Great information!!!
I’ve head a lot of helpful information to help me. Plus the guest on the show are awesome, and great deals on great products
Great Podcast!
My brother introduced me to the podcast a couple months ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. We grew up in West Michigan and Hunt in West Michigan. Habitat Management is something new to us as we grew up on a small farm in the days when you could dump buckets of bait and didn’t really need to worry about food plots and such. The episode about hunting with young kids was really cool to hear! My son (4yo) and I were able to get a deer this October and it was so much fun! A challenge for sure to get the boy to be quite enough for deer to come in but it was definitely my most memorable hunt to date. I would love to hear an episode with a dog tracker. For the past 3 seasons I’ve been training a tracking dog and it is so much fun! Would love to hear some tips/thoughts from a real pro. Love the podcast and keep up the great work!
