In this episode of Back at Camp, Travis is joined by the show’s first-ever call-in guest: Zack Vucurevich, founder of Whetstone Habitat and a certified wildlife biologist, habitat consultant, land specialist, and outdoor writer based in Tennessee.

Zack walks through his path from state and federal wildlife jobs into starting his own consulting business, then dives into real land management: why food plot seed is the last thing that matters, how many does a property should actually be shooting, reading bedding sign and browse pressure, dealing with invasive plants like multiflora rose and bittersweet, rethinking “sanctuary” areas, hinge cutting done right, and what it takes to manage for turkey as well as deer. He even pulls up Travisand Brad’s own property on screen to talk through access and trail layout.

Whether you’re managing 20 acres or 2,000, chasing bucks or just trying to grow better habitat, this episode is loaded with practical, no-BS land management advice.
