Most landowners in the south don't have the luxury owning 500+ acres. That brings up the question: "Can you manage small properties for wildlife?". We get questions like that a lot from our listeners so we wanted to take some time to sit down with fellow land managers, Marc and Misty Brenner of Outfitters Depot. Marc has been in the land management space for a long time and has done a great job helping his clients with smaller tracts achieve their goals when it comes to wildlife, habitat, and self-sufficient farming.

Many of you know that we took a trip in January of 2025 to South Texas to film and participate in a deer capture event for a research project. That project was conducted with the intent of comparing the performance of whitetail deer that were fed protein pellets with ones that were fed cotton seed as a supplementary source of protein. Our guest, Dr. Joe Hediger of the  @ckwri  Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, sat down with us to discuss the details of the project, what they predict the results may show, and what they could mean for landowners in the south. If you are a Whitetail fanatic this is the show for you.
