Small Acre Hunting Podcast

Let's revisit a social media post I made about a mistake I see many hunters make early season, and why I don't think it deserved nearly the blowback it got.

Few days prior I shared a short video requesting everyone ask themselves one question whenever they hear someone in the hunting industry speak on a product, tool or thought - "Is what they're saying being influenced by money?" Such a simple thought, yet some were quite riled up thinking I was discussing them specifically and wanted to know why I didn't just private message them.  Let's unpack...

In this episode I discuss one of the yearly topics which gets emailed in, or prompted on various platforms across numerous locations...."How do I go about killing a good buck in the early season?"

This is Part 6 of 6 planned podcasts discussing the "perfect" property pyramid. This pyramid lays out what 5 aspects/traits of a property I feel I've seen in or on every property I know has yielded sustained success for hunters chasing not just whitetail deer, but bucks that sit in that top 15% or so of their localized deer herd's age bracket. This episode we will discuss THE MOST IMPORTANT THING...

On this episode I discuss some of the most common food plot failures many run into and things to keep in mind as promised in the previous episode.

Here I vent and share how last year was a season that couldn't end fast enough for me. The struggle to find motivation to hunt and let alone make content is also discussed. All of that leads into a discussion of specific things I'll be doing this year in an attempt to not allow this past seasons' "failures" merely repeat again.

In this episode I sit down with Matt Thielking, a hard working common man like you and I that over the past few years has been managing his small piece of land. Over that time he's learned through failures, successes and most recently through some key changes he did a little over a year ago; which have already illustrated to be successful.  Link to the video and his channel discussed in podca...

Little check in episode where I discuss our plans for the coming weekend, go over some seed purchases (without discount), encourage everyone to make the hunting community a better place and finally provide the audio version of The Potential Is There. The Potential Is There is a write up I did for Real World Wildlife Products and pray it stirs up thoughts in your head and reflection as well. Thanks...

Today I take a quick "detour" like trip conveying how fatherhood or Father's Day is something we can learn a decent amount on our hunting/land managing journeys. Little different spin, but I promise it will most likely make sense.

Let's chat on this episode about three things most landowners struggle with accepting they must control if they want to fully commit to success when it comes to a property conducive for daytime deer movement/use.

This episode is an in depth discussion with just a normal guy that dove head first into soil health about 18 months ago. We discuss his journey, no till operations, the life beneath our feet and how when everything is working together it is possible to eliminate fertilizer needs even! Various resources are discussed throughout the podcast and are listed here: Grant Woods - Buffalo System https://w...

What a treat it was to sit down for nearly an hour and a half and chat whitetails with Jake Ehlinger. It is a blessing we will without question be having a follow up episode focusing more so on how to go about hunting a property once the habitat plan is falling into place. This episode however we touch on everything habitat and dabble in on an in depth scent discussion as well. Trust me a notepad...

In this episode we breakdown in a bit more detail some of the work ahead of Pops and I at The22 property; including a few of the trees I have coming for this year. This discussions leads right into perhaps one question many folks want to avoid, but I feel we all need to honestly answer, "Are you growing timber or deer?" I also share the news about Patreon and how everything is revamping at Small A...

IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG! In this episode I touch on some of the reasons I've been away and hint at some changes on the horizon. However, we then slip into perhaps one of the most poignant writings I've shared in quite sometime - sit back and listen to the audio version of "Perspective in the Chaos".  God bless and THANK YOU to each and every one of you.

In this episode we discuss just how unprepared I feel heading into the season, real life reflections BUT we also discuss why above all that I am very excited for a promising fall season!!!

Short on time and guests schedules didn't allow...so let's chat quickly about my current situation, and also my 3 main food plot plans for the fall which rarely if ever change.

I'm going to delve into a concept which may seem odd coming from someone whom has consulted on numerous properties....but there is a pivotal piece most consultants don't want to discuss, ignore or downplay that above all else must be in place for success to occur. Let's discuss it.

After quite a hiatus thanks to moving houses, I finally get a podcast scraped together. More to come soon!

Let's finally delve into the discussion of the property itself habitat wise. I paint a picture of a hypothetical property and on this episode we focus primarily on cover. I touch on the basics or overview of where and why I may direct habitat improvements with cover/bedding in mind. ** Also I mention a way you can help me in the development of a new concept call the Small Acre Hunting - Attack Pla...

So we have written down the goal of the property. We surveyed the SURROUNDING area of the property to see what strengths and weaknesses exist OFF the property....now we turn to the decisions ON the property. FIRST though...we must have the discussion over the most CRITICAL thing we have to make our property the BEST at: SECURITY.
