Southeast Whitetail

What can cameras actually tell us about movement and herd dynamics? This week I discuss feed vs. passive sites. The pros and cons of each and how to establish a camera program to meet your hunting goals throughout the season. Thanks for listening!

Hunt clubs are the backbone of southern hunting culture. The Southeast is private land dominated and thus will always maintain clubs throughout each state. Topics discussed - hunter & deer management, land work, penalties & fines, when hinge cutting works, how to kill more deer on leases and consistently see more bucks.

Thanks for listening.

Back in the climber with a new episode. I took some time off but I'm back weekly with new guests and topics. This episode I discuss summer buck scouting, farmers, mowing, predators, late summer / early fall patterns, property maintenance and keeping tabs on seasonal growth.

Let me know guests you would like to hear and topics to cover. Thanks for listening!

You're managing the herd, not individual deer. This week I dive deep into what segment of the doe population is best to meet various management goals and what benefits each age class offers for harvest.

- Old vs. Young?

- With Fawns or Without?

- Single or Within a Group?

- Early Season, Breeding Period, or Late Season?

- Challenges to Overcome

Thanks for listening!

Culling does work and it certainly has a place for deer managers and hunters but it may not be what you're thinking. This isn't culling like our grandfathers once did.

This week I'm launching a new series on various Quality Deer Management topics. The goal is to shed light on the principles & practices. QDM can be implemented on small and large tracts.

Thanks for listening!

Summer is mostly killing time until the season opener but there are many hunt techniques to implement now to see and kill more bucks this Fall.  Get out there, get sweaty and increase your odds of filling tags.  I don't consider myself having much of an ego but I am highly confident when it comes to my deer management and hunting style.  

Thanks for listening. 

Jacob & Nick return to the show for a high level breakdown of dove fields.  From soil samples and seed beds to prepping the field to hunt and everything in between.  This is a deep dive by two highly experienced land managers to better your fields, produce higher quality food and attract more birds.  

We cover planting equipment, sprayers, seed selection, soil bed prep, weed control, deer depredation management, desiccating fields, and many proven techniques from years of experience from Nick & Jacob.  

Thank you for listening and good luck on opening day.   

This week I breakdown my skinning shed from backing in with a deer to quartering up the carcass after hanging in the walk-in cooler.  A place to hang and skin game is one of the best investments and value-add improvements you can make for your property.

Over time we've added tools and various methods to streamline the process, yield better results all while recording herd data to more efficiently harvest and manage deer.

Trial and error is how you become proficient with managing your land. Experiment with seeds and planting practices but you must always ask why things didn't go as planned.

On this episode I cover 10 ways I failed at producing successful food plots. Thanks for listening and please subscribe, follow and leave a 5 Star review!

Whether you have 20 or 2,000 acres, growing and selling timber is an excellent route to generate cash. Funds for capital improvements and property carrying costs. Tree farms don't have to be wildlife wastelands. You can easily blend active timber rotations with healthy wildlife populations while increasing your huntability.

Develop a working forestry plan and build value, along with robust game usuage. I cover navigating foresters, timber / land consultants, direct sales, contracts, diversifying age classes and many more topics.

Thanks for listening.
