Our guest is Sara Fitzsimmons who currently works at Penn State University and served for over two decades with The American Chestnut Foundation, most recently as Chief Conservation Officer. Simply put Sara knows the Chestnut story and does a great job telling it. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.

This week we’re joined by Dr. Bronson Strickland and Mitt Wardlaw of Wildlife Investments. We discuss whitetails, food plots and techniques learned from precision ag to mitigate the fall food plot planting challenges. 

The take away is being intentional and timely while understanding the tools/techniques that Gamekeepers can access to save soil moisture. We talk about the early growing season window and it’s challenges and benefits. It’s an interesting discussion that’s packed with good information. We also ask Bronson if science shows mature bucks are leery of game cameras.

This week we are joined by Dr. Natasha Neary. She is a mathematical biologist and was a post-doctoral researcher who analyzed the data for many of the wildlife, fisheries, and aquaculture research projects at Mississippi State University.  She has a unique background and story for someone engaged in wildlife management research. She arrived in Starkville from England as a vegetarian/non-hunter, and her time around the MSU crew has led her to change her thoughts of hunting and eating wild meat. She tells her story and asks us some questions that form an interesting discussion with a unique perspective of someone who didn’t grow up in a hunting culture.  Natasha is currently Chief of Conservation Analytics at Wildlife Investments.

This week we’re joined by Dave Owens of the Pinhoti Project to help get us all count down the days to bow season. Dave recently killed a great buck during the TN velvet season and tells the story. We also talk about scouting techniques, camera placement, how he uses a tree saddle and the difficulty of filming a hunt by yourself. We break down soft and hard mast, their preference by whitetails and try to help listeners know where to look for each species. It’s a good one.
