Huntin' Land Podcast

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.

On this episode of Huntin' Land Podcast, Joe and guest co-host Matt Horton have a lively and informative discussion on improving wild turkey populations on leased land with guests Dr. Will Gulsby and Dr. Michael Chamberlain. Dr. Gulsby and Dr. Chamberlain explain that certain practices such as bushhogging, feeding, baiting, and planting open areas, must be avoided, as research shows they can harm wild turkey populations. However, through various conservation and management practices, such as trapping nest predators, trapping wild turkey predators, approaching the landlord with monetary compensation or grants to implement prescribed fire, and planting and maintaining native vegetation, hunters and land managers can take concrete steps to improve the habitat and overall turkey population. Although each practice leads to its own rewards and should be tailored to the individual's needs, the guests recommend trapping predators, planting native vegetation, and approaching the landlord with a monetary proposal or grant to get the most bang for your buck regarding habitat improvement.  Furthermore, the guests offer tips on how listeners can keep up with the latest wild turkey research. They encourage podcast listeners, hunters, and land managers to stay in touch with their work and follow along on social media.  Check Out Wild Turkey Science Podcast >>> Click Here This Huntin' Land Podcast episode is filled with useful tips and ways to get started for hunters and land managers looking to improve wild turkey populations on leased land.

On this episode, Joe and Butch welcome Dr. James Kroll, known as Dr. Deer and is Professor Emeritus of Forest Wildlife Management at Stephen F. Austin State University and Director of the Institute of Whitetail Deer Management and Research, to discuss food plot preparation and seed selection. When starting from scratch, Dr. Kroll emphasized topography, soil type, and location when selecting a food plot site - ideally somewhere with low terrain and 3% dedicated to food plots. He also recommended placing the plot near travel corridors (like creeks or roads) and cover.   It's not just about location, though. Dr. Kroll also outlined food plot preparation considerations,  explaining that the planting method should match the site and that hunters should expect to make multiple visits to do seed bed preparation if managing from a distance. Regarding seed selection, Dr. Kroll recommends plants like grasses, legumes, broad leaves, and brassicas. He highlighted the benefits of buck forage oats, like selective breeding and Frost tolerance. He also discussed chicory, noting that deer like it, but it can be invasive, and suggested avoiding varieties with red veins. Dr. Kroll finished by discussing the ideal food plot in terms of size, soil, and things to consider when planting a No-Till plot. Lastly, to avoid big mistakes, Dr. Kroll encouraged being aware of planting timing, planting depth, and selecting pure varieties of chicory to ensure the desired food plot.

On this episode, Joe and Butch are joined by Lee Dixon with Whitetail Partners to discuss how to attract bucks to your property. We will discuss the components of mature buck habitat, why managing your land for mature bucks is important, what factors can negatively affect habitat quality, and what techniques can be used to create a habitat for mature bucks. 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.
