| 14 Oct 2024 | The Science Behind How Deer See | 01:09:13 | |
On this episode we interview Gino D'Angelo, Associate Professor of Deer Ecology and Management at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia. Gino discusses the latest deer vision research. D'Angelo explains how deer have superior night vision and can see in the UV spectrum, but have limited color perception compared to humans. This impacts how deer perceive movement, contrast, and camouflage. The research shows deer have a very wide field of view, around 300 degrees, and poor depth perception. This means hunters need to focus on breaking up their outline and matching their background, rather than just the color of their camouflage. Elevation, sun position, and minimizing movement are also critical for effective deer stand placement. Gino shares advice for students interested in pursuing careers in natural resource management fields like wildlife biology. Overall, the discussion provides valuable insights for hunters to improve their deer hunting strategies based on the latest deer vision science. | |||

In this episode, we delve deep into the meticulous world of box stand planning for the 2023-2024 hunting season with the experts from Texas Hunter Products, a company with a rich history in manufacturing top-tier box blinds. We kick off the discussion by exploring the critical factors hunters should consider when selecting the size, shape, and height of their next box blind to ensure an optimal hunting experience. Taking it a step further, we address the unique offerings of Texas Hunter Products in terms of accessibility features, introducing you to their innovative box stands that come equipped with both ladders and stairs to cater to various preferences and needs.

The team shares insightful tips on what hunters should be seeking in doors, windows, and seals to keep the box stand safeguarded from rodents and insects, promising hassle-free usage year after year. Windows and doors, beyond providing protection, also play a pivotal role in determining the noise level inside a box stand. Drawing from their vast experience, our guests elaborate on the noise reduction strategies implemented in their products and offer guidance to hunters on what to look for to maintain a quiet and serene hunting environment, even with the little ones on board kicking the walls!

The team convincingly outlines the unbeatable quality and additional features that come with their box stands, promising an unparalleled hunting experience. To round off, we discuss another invaluable advantage of opting for a pre-fabricated box stand — time efficiency.

| 27 Aug 2024 | Waterfowl Impoundment Planning for Landowners | 00:51:57 | |
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.

Does shape vary by site? What about the underwater slope? Why is it important? Structure - Underwater and above water The Dam - What comes first, the dam or the hole? Does the dirt in a dam have to be brought in? What about the topsoil and dirt removed to dig the pond, what should we do with that? What is freeboard? What is the right amount? Cost - Is there a way to estimate cost, say x amount just to get started then +++ / acre of pond size? What is the average construction cost of a typical sized recreational pod? What goes into a project that will increase cost? By the end of this show, you'll be a dam expert. You'll know what it takes to construct a pond and have everything you need to start the process.

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. | |||

On this episode, Joe and Butch are joined by Lee Dixon with Whitetail Partners to discuss how to attract bucks to your property.

They also discuss other considerations for managing whitetail deer habitat for mature bucks, such as the need for a sanctuary and how to treat these areas. Mature buck habitat is composed of several components. These include bedding areas, food sources, and travel routes, all of which are important for mature buck survival. Managing mature bucks is different from managing for any other deer. It is essential to focus on creating ideal habitat conditions throughout the year, rather than just during hunting season. Several factors can negatively impact the quality of mature buck habitat. This includes human activities such as hunting pressure, habitat destruction, etc. Landowners can use various techniques to improve habitat quality, such as timber management, prescribed burns, and food plot management. Finally, when managing whitetail deer habitat for mature bucks, it is important to consider creating a sanctuary to provide a safe haven for bucks to live and reproduce. This area should be kept off-limits to hunting and human activities so that the bucks can remain undisturbed. Enjoy the show.
