They also address common hunting conflicts with neighbors, explore deer foraging behaviors, and share insights on optimizing food plots for better deer attraction. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding deer preferences and the benefits of diverse food sources in hunting strategies. Takeaways The importance of supporting each other during tough times. Diversity in food sources is crucial for deer management. No-till farming practices can enhance soil health and reduce chemical use. Overseeding can maximize food plot yields. Trail camera placement can significantly affect the number of deer captured in photos. Good camera locations are created, not just found. Understanding deer behavior is key to effective monitoring. Planning for various weather conditions is essential in habitat management. Innovative farming techniques can lead to better results in wildlife management. Documenting the process can engage and educate others. The distance between a buck's gibblies and butthole is key to aging. Finding the biggest antlers is a primary goal for some hunters. Midwest Sportsman's Classic is a significant event for outdoor enthusiasts. Girdling is preferred for certain tree species in timber management. Fences may become common due to increasing hunting conflicts. Fescue is not a preferred food source for deer. Rotting turnips still provide nutrients for future crops. Combining grains and greens in food plots can be beneficial. Diversity in food sources is crucial for attracting deer. Understanding deer behavior can enhance hunting success.

In this third episode with Dr. Mark Turner, we discuss Mark's research exploring the factors that contribute to the variation in population-level buck antler size. He explains that deer tend to be larger in areas further north due to heat retention and dissipation. He also highlights the importance of landscape characteristics, such as row crop agriculture, in influencing deer size. Additionally, he emphasizes the significance of managing forage availability on individual properties, including improving early successional plant communities and implementing holistic food plotting approaches. Overall, the key takeaways are the importance of considering the context of a property within the larger landscape, the potential for incremental improvements in deer management, and the need to manage both habitat and deer density to optimize deer quality.

Branching off from last week's episode, we discuss weed management and some key in-the-field observations. Mitch mentioned that there are three common "modes of action" to control weeds including mechanical (tillage, hand pulling), chemical (herbicide), and biological (plant competition). Is it possible to manage weeds with only one? This week's guest on the Pennsylvania Woodsman is Troy Dietterich who shares some interesting observations from his personal hunting property. Troy and his wife prefer to limit the use of pesticides on their property. This is something anyone can do successfully if they stay dedicated and work hard towards. That's not to say it doesn't come a little more difficult and with a greater learning curve. Troy has used a multitude of seed blends and management styles on his food plots; some successful and some not. We dive into what worked, what didn't, and what key observations were made in order to make better decisions moving forward. This episode is a great example of just because someone says you should do something a certain way (this includes recommendations from Mitch!), doesn't mean you can't modify tactics to better serve your property and personal goals!

There comes a point every deer season, typically during the “lockdown” phase of the rut, when my dad and I start working through the long list of terrible excuses contributing to the lack of deer activity on our family property. Bad neighbors, lower deer numbers, terrible acorn crop—all excuses we throw out to console ourselves and gloss over our own shortcomings. Eventually, the conversation turns to off-season work, and my dad will mention how...

Manicured food plots and tractor work still have their place in the deer hunting community. But clear-cuts are a mecca for concentrated deer populations in the big woods. These areas can be the strategic hunting locations you've been searching for. Clear-cuts can accommodate any hunting style, whether you prefer firearms or archery tackle, ambush hunting, or spot-and-stalk. Scouting a cut may seem daunting, especially if it's large, but you can...
