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.

On this episode of the Two Bucks Podcast, Brian talks with Trevor and Jake from Toulou Broadheads about designing an innovative new broadhead for both penetration and accuracy!

They discuss the importance of accuracy and penetration in broadheads and how their design incorporates both.

The conversation touches on the significance of broadheads in hunting and the personal preferences hunters have when choosing them.

They discuss the benefits of shooting mechanical broadheads for whitetails and the importance of momentum and energy in arrow penetration. They also touch on the twist in the broadhead design and its effect on penetration and wound channels. In this conversation, Brian Krebs and the representatives from Toulou Broadhead Co discuss the importance of broadhead design and its impact on hunting success. They explore the benefits of single bevel fixed blade broadheads and the role of bleeder blades in improving blood trails. They also discuss the balance between penetration and laceration, as well as the challenges of sharpening broadheads with multiple components.
