In last week’s episode, we discussed some of the things that we can do to improve the sport of hunting. To keep the conversation going, this week’s episode, Ben Robinson and Larry Helmers join us for a discussion about how we can improve habitat for wildlife on any sized parcel of land. Ben and Larry make a living helping land owners improve their land on many different scales and have experience working on their own properties as well. As hunters, it is important for us to make sure there is a sustainable wildlife population for future generations of hunters. Giving wildlife the habitat they need is critical and doing your part could be as easy as changing your own backyard!

Topics Include: 

-examples of small property improvements -how much hunting can improve with simple management practices -making use of all of your land to improve wildlife habitat

Group hunting can be a great way to learn a lot in a short amount of time. Ohio’s four day muzzleloader season is a great opportunity for us to get a group of close friends together and hunt public land as a team. The advantage of hunting as a group is everyones combined experiences in a specific spot allows you to learn way more about an area than you could hunting alone. With more eyes on the area it is easier to understand how deer are spending their time in different habitat and terrain. In this episode, some of the group discusses the things that we learned this season and some of the things that we can improve on next year. Hopefully this podcast inspires you to find a group to hunt with because it sure is a lot of fun and a great way to learn about deer!

 

Topics Include: 

-group hunting dynamics-how we could improve efficiency -stories of the big bucks we saw
