On this episode of Huntin’ Land we talk with Jake Spears of Ducks Unlimited about Waterfowl Impoundment Planning for Landowners. We discuss the feasibility of creating waterfowl impoundments on recreational properties, even in areas not known as major waterfowl flyways. Clint Flowers emphasizes the importance of managing impoundments well and documenting their productivity to increase property value. The guests explore factors to consider when selecting a site, including choosing low-lying areas prone to natural flooding that are attractive to ducks. Jake advises an ideal impoundment size of 20-30 acres, with multiple smaller impoundments often better than one large one. He stresses the critical role of water control structures to fine-tune water levels. Maintenance and managing natural vegetation are key, as is working with conservation organizations like Ducks Unlimited to access expertise and potential cost-share programs. The guests share inspiring success stories of revitalizing old impoundments and creating new ones that attract significant waterfowl. They encourage landowners to reach out to local experts to assess feasibility and develop a plan, while setting realistic long-term expectations for these projects. The overall focus is on providing valuable waterfowl habitat, not just creating a private hunting spot.

On this week's show, Joe and Butch discuss creating successful food plot seed mixes with Caleb Weaver from Southern Seed and Feed. Caleb explains the importance of soil testing and selecting seed varieties suited to soil and climate conditions. Listeners learned that seeding rates must account for factors like seed coatings, purity, and germination rates. Planting methods and deer browse pressure may require adjusting seeding rates. The show covered balancing different seed varieties to provide nutrition throughout the growing season. An exclusion cage can help evaluate browse pressure to determine if seeding rates need increasing. Overall, selecting a pre-made seed blend takes the guesswork out of creating mixes, but soil testing is still important for amending soils properly.

This episode we interview Chuck Sykes, the director of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, about deer supplemental feeding. Sykes shares his background and how he became the director, despite initial reluctance to take the state job. He emphasizes the importance of habitat management over supplemental feeding for deer. Sykes defines supplemental feeding as providing additional nutrition beyond what deer need to survive, typically during lean periods like late winter and late summer. He recommends using high-protein feeds like soybeans to fill nutritional gaps. Sykes stresses the need for baseline data on deer herd health and age structure to guide management decisions. He encourages landowners to participate in the state's Deer Management Assistance Program to collect this data. The discussion covers strategies for managing deer populations, including habitat manipulation, supplemental feeding, and controlling hog numbers. Sykes emphasizes the importance of working with neighboring landowners and having realistic expectations for deer management.

This week's show featured an interview with Jeff Kahn, a landowner who recently enrolled his property in a forest carbon program. Jeff grew up in Queens, New York but was drawn to rural land ownership. He purchased an 80 acre property in Virginia that had woods, pastures, and a creek. Over 40 years, Jeff undertook various projects like building a house, renovating pastures, installing a pond, and raising cattle. He discussed putting the property in a conservation easement to protect it from future subdivision. Jeff also shared his experience participating in a forest carbon program, explaining that it allows for sustainable forest management while providing an income stream. The program involved a long term contract and annual verification visits. Jeff hopes his stewardship will benefit the land for years to come as nearby development encroaches.

This episode of Huntin' Land discusses whether it is worth it for landowners to own a personal sawmill. Stephen Gordon from Woodmizer is interviewed to provide information on sawmills. Some key points discussed include: Reasons people own sawmills include milling lumber from their own trees for projects, enjoyment of the process, and potential cost savings. Portable sawmills allow milling lumber anywhere trees are located. Hydraulic log handling makes the process easier but costs more. Smaller entry-level sawmills start around $3,000 but options can increase costs significantly. Used sawmills also provide good value and resale. Common projects milled from own trees include shooting houses, bridges, fences, hunting cabins, and more. The options are only limited by one's imagination and property needs. Maintenance mainly involves lubrication and blade changes. Sawmills are durable but occasional repairs may be needed which Woodmizer can assist with.

On this episode, Joe Baya and Nick Williams talk with Mark Olis of Moultrie Mobile on using game cameras as an essential tool for hunters looking to improve their success in the field. When used strategically, these cameras can provide valuable information on mature bucks’ movement patterns, helping hunters pattern and ultimately harvest these elusive animals. But how exactly can hunters use game cameras to their advantage? It all starts with strategically placing the cameras in the right locations. This could include areas like heavily used deer trails, near food sources, or on the edges of bedding areas. In addition to proper placement, hunters should also pay attention to the different phases of the season and adjust their thought processes accordingly. For example, mature bucks may be more active during the rut and travel longer distances, so cameras should be placed in different locations to capture this movement. Interpreting the data collected by game cameras is equally important. This can help hunters understand the movement patterns of mature bucks and adapt their hunting strategies accordingly. In some cases, the information gathered from cameras can influence how a hunter sets up for a hunt. Overall, game cameras are a valuable tool for hunters and can greatly increase their chances of success in the field. By properly placing, interpreting, and utilizing this data, hunters can hone in on the movements of mature bucks and ultimately achieve their hunting goals.

On this episode we talk with Brandon Maddox from Silencer Central about reducing gun recoil through various methods like suppressors, muzzle brakes, recoil pads, and proper stock configuration. Brandon explains how suppressors work similarly to muzzle brakes to redirect gas and reduce recoil. We discuss experiences with increased accuracy and ability to track shots when using suppressors. Joe Baya wants suppressors to be more accessible to get youth interested in shooting safely. Silencer Central aims to streamline the purchase process through services like payment plans and barrel threading. While the wait time is currently around 8 months, ordering now would have a suppressor ready for hunting seasons. Suppressors allow safer practice and reduce flinching . Overall, the show promotes suppressors as an enjoyable and responsible option to mitigate recoil.

Your hosts, Joe, Butch and Clint talk with Seth Maddox from the Alabama Department of Conservation and natural Resources and they discuss public and private land dove hunting opportunities in Alabama. Seth talks about the declining dove population and their habitat needs, including open ground for feeding and scrubby cover along field edges for nesting. He recommends planting crops like corn, millet, and winter wheat for dove food and how to optimize your field to hold birds a few weeks before the season. Smaller fields can be hunted less frequently than larger fields. Clear cuts, roadsides, and power lines can attract doves. Seth and the guys go in depth on how to be 100% legal while dove hunting and do's and don'ts of seed and feed to avoid an unnecessary visit from the Game Warden! Morning hunts can be productive too. Scouting is important to find feeding and roosting areas with features like dead trees. Larger food plots allow more frequent hunting.
