In this BAK40 Episode of the Two Bucks Podcast, Brian Krebs is joined by Jake Polk of Polk Whitetail Management to kick off the series with a deep dive into managing "difficult acres"âthe kind of small, tough, imperfect properties most hunters actually own. They explore how to turn C- or D-tier land into productive deer habitat, despite limited time, equipment, or budget. The conversation covers real-world habitat improvements like creating bedding mounds in cattails, designing diverse âturkey footâ food plots, choosing between white pines and cedars for bedding cover, and planting persistent crabapples for year-round attraction. Brian and Jake also discuss the difference between trying to "hold" deer vs. building a buck hotel, balancing shed hunting with fall success, and the value of rotating diverse food sources over monoculture. This is a practical, relatable conversation packed with takeaways for anyone working with the land theyâve got and dreaming of what it could become.
Key Topics Discussed:
⢠Managing C- and D-tier hunting properties with limited time and budget
⢠Creative strategies for building bedding and food in cattail swamps
⢠Designing effective âturkey footâ food plots and maximizing small acreage
⢠Pine vs. cedar for thermal bedding, screening, and long-term habitat
