Beasts Of Burden

In this episode, we talk about how to read a soil test. I am not a soil scientist I have a basic understanding what our macro and micro nutrients do for our food plots, but still learning all the details. As I explain how to read the test (which I hope I explained it clearly) I hope you see the attraction of polyculture or diverse green cover crop mixes for deer have a higher ROI than an monoculture and hopefully you'll see the attraction and superiority of early sucessional plant communities at the end of the episode.

Hey folks, sorry for the absence been a busy spring and summer with CRP, food plots, and the like. Quick update and where we're going from here

In this episode we talk about the different styles of food plots you can do for clients and different systems you can create for your business. Either an In and Out style or a Maintenance style.

In this episode we focus on the real money in habitat management: timber. If you're not a forester it will be a little bit harder. However, if you are willing to learn and the put the time in you will be successful as a habitat manager. "Opportunity comes in the form of sweat and overalls"

In this episode, we have our awesome guest Hunter Johnson of Arkansas! One topic that is often discussed amongst turkey hunters is: predators. Many fingers point to these furbearers as the culprit for our low turkey numbers. But is it? Hunter and I explore this along with our habitat tools to improve turkey habitat also at the same time advocating for trapping. Trapping is necessary to manage the predators at the end of the day.

In this episode, we talk about the fumbles of turkey season. From how my abnormal regular bowel movements delay a hunt to storming through the timber to get to the blind quicker.... time to slow down and think of our actions, but also not to fall into the entrapment of negative thinking and instead to problem solve, find solutions, act on it! Also we dicuss the irregualr cool weather pattern we are in!
