82. Working the Plan: What Really Happens After the Habitat Design Is Done


Listen Later

What happens after the habitat plan is delivered?

In this episode of Design. Build. Hunt., Josh sits down with returning guest and client Emerson Chew to walk through two years of real-world implementation on his 40-acre South Georgia property.

This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s an honest conversation about:

  • What Emerson tackled first after getting his plan

  • How travel corridors, access, water holes, and fire changed deer movement

  • Mistakes made, lessons learned, and what didn’t work

  • Implementing habitat work with limited time, budget, and equipment

  • When food plots matter—and when they don’t

  • Why patience is the most underrated habitat tool there is

    If you’ve ever wondered whether a habitat plan actually works when a real landowner puts boots on the ground, this episode answers that question clearly.

    This is what progress looks like when the plan gets followed.
