    S2 Ep 4 Land Matters: Behind the Habitat at Whiskey Sloughs

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 20, 2025 28:31


    In this episode, we're digging deep — literally and figuratively — into the land management that powers our hunts at Whiskey Sloughs. From strategic slough creation along the Platte River to native grass and sunflower plots on our CRP ground, we break down the year-round work it takes to hold birds and build habitat that thrives. We also take a walk through our Upland CSA, where intentional habitat management creates wild-style experiences for pheasant, quail, and chukar hunters alike. Whether you're a landowner, a habitat nerd, or just someone who wants to know what goes into a world-class hunt — this one's for you.
