Welcome back to another week! In today's episode, Alex and Jeremy are joined by Kaleb Greiner. Kaleb is one of the more knowledgeable deer hunters we know, but he thrives in deer habitat management. Kaleb was formerly part of Midwest Whitetail and recently departed to pursue his new adventure and passion in land consulting and management. Growing up in the great state of Iowa, he has spent his life learning how to make properties more attractive to whitetails, and he's here to share what he has learned along the way. Kaleb goes over his background in the hunting industry and growing up in Iowa as a kid bowhunting whitetails. Kaleb touches on his favorite food sources to plant for big bucks, and what top equipment he would purchase to manage land. The guys dive into the heavily debated topic of mock scrapes and water holes in food plots. Kaleb shares why he thinks a cultipacker is a must-have when planting food plots and why TSI work is so important on your property. Lastly, the guys discuss the pros of hiring a land consultant to evaluate your farm and provide insights into government programs available that can help fund your habitat goals. Whether you manage 10 acres or 1,000, Kaleb's knowledge and hands-on experience will give you actionable strategies to take your property—and your whitetail hunting—to the next level. Enjoy the show!
