In this BAK40 Episode of the Two Bucks Podcast, Brian Krebs is joined by Jake Polk of Polk Whitetail Management to kick off the series with a deep dive into managing "difficult acres"—the kind of small, tough, imperfect properties most hunters actually own. They explore how to turn C- or D-tier land into productive deer habitat, despite limited time, equipment, or budget. The conversation covers real-world habitat improvements like creating bedding mounds in cattails, designing diverse “turkey foot” food plots, choosing between white pines and cedars for bedding cover, and planting persistent crabapples for year-round attraction. Brian and Jake also discuss the difference between trying to "hold" deer vs. building a buck hotel, balancing shed hunting with fall success, and the value of rotating diverse food sources over monoculture. This is a practical, relatable conversation packed with takeaways for anyone working with the land they've got and dreaming of what it could become.Key Topics Discussed:• Managing C- and D-tier hunting properties with limited time and budget• Creative strategies for building bedding and food in cattail swamps• Designing effective “turkey foot” food plots and maximizing small acreage• Pine vs. cedar for thermal bedding, screening, and long-term habitat• The “buck hotel” mindset vs. trying to hold deer year-roundIf you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe to The Two Bucks Podcast on your favorite podcast platform so you never miss a new BAK40 drop.
