What a treat it was to sit down for nearly an hour and a half and chat whitetails with Jake Ehlinger. It is a blessing we will without question be having a follow up episode focusing more so on how to go about hunting a property once the habitat plan is falling into place.

This episode however we touch on everything habitat and dabble in on an in depth scent discussion as well. Trust me a notepad and pen could be a good thing to have handy.

Be sure to share every where you can for others to hear!

In this episode we breakdown in a bit more detail some of the work ahead of Pops and I at The22 property; including a few of the trees I have coming for this year. This discussions leads right into perhaps one question many folks want to avoid, but I feel we all need to honestly answer, "Are you growing timber or deer?"

I also share the news about Patreon and how everything is revamping at Small Acre Hunting - and I need your support if it is going to stay active and create content consistently.

IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG! In this episode I touch on some of the reasons I've been away and hint at some changes on the horizon. However, we then slip into perhaps one of the most poignant writings I've shared in quite sometime - sit back and listen to the audio version of "Perspective in the Chaos". 

God bless and THANK YOU to each and every one of you.

In this episode we discuss just how unprepared I feel heading into the season, real life reflections BUT we also discuss why above all that I am very excited for a promising fall season!!!

Short on time and guests schedules didn't allow...so let's chat quickly about my current situation, and also my 3 main food plot plans for the fall which rarely if ever change.

I'm going to delve into a concept which may seem odd coming from someone whom has consulted on numerous properties....but there is a pivotal piece most consultants don't want to discuss, ignore or downplay that above all else must be in place for success to occur.

Let's discuss it.

After quite a hiatus thanks to moving houses, I finally get a podcast scraped together. More to come soon!

Let's finally delve into the discussion of the property itself habitat wise. I paint a picture of a hypothetical property and on this episode we focus primarily on cover. I touch on the basics or overview of where and why I may direct habitat improvements with cover/bedding in mind.

** Also I mention a way you can help me in the development of a new concept call the Small Acre Hunting - Attack Plan...be sure to listen up!

So we have written down the goal of the property. We surveyed the SURROUNDING area of the property to see what strengths and weaknesses exist OFF the property....now we turn to the decisions ON the property.

FIRST though...we must have the discussion over the most CRITICAL thing we have to make our property the BEST at: SECURITY.
