Habitat Podcast #299 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with repeat guest Al Tomechko. Normally when Al and I get together it's to talk about everything seeds and food plots. This time around, Al's freezer is a little more full so we dive into the story of the buck he just killed named Dozer. We discuss:

  • The role edge feathering had in Al's success
  • Cabon load and how well it did in a drought
  • Hunting out of an enclosed blind
  • A squirrel running all of the deer off?
  • How far should you open the blind windows for bow hunting
  • When in doubt, back out
  • Never trust the weatherman when giving a deer time
  • The state of deer hunting in Ohio
  • Al's 15-year experience managing his farm
  • Strategic planting based on the upcoming weather
  • The significance of doe management in population control
  • Don't overpressure your property
  • Seeding trails that lead to your food plot
  • Food AND cover, not just food
  • How many deer can your farm actually handle

  • And So Much More!
