Hunting pine plantations in the South comes with its own set of challenges—tight visibility, rigid timber schedules, and landscapes that can feel monotonous if they're not managed intentionally. In this solo episode, Josh breaks down one of his all-time favorite projects: a 600-acre southern pine tract designed from the ground up for predictable deer movement, quality bedding, and high-value forage. Josh explains how to work with the realities of timber rotations and revenue-producing stands—leveraging first and second thinnings, prescribed fire, strategically staggered burn rotations, and purpose-built bedding and forage units. You'll learn why pine properties can be incredible hunting ground when managed with intention, how to place food plots and travel corridors that actually get used, and why “checkerboarding” your timber stand may be the missing ingredient to daylight movement. If you hunt piney woods—Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, Mississippi, Louisiana—this episode is packed with practical design, access, and hunting strategy you can use right now.

Episode 3 of our Habitat Design Review Series takes us to one of the toughest parcels we've looked at yet—a wet, flat, lowland tract that demanded creativity, discipline, and some strategic restraint. In this episode, Josh and Sam break down how to approach a marshy, dense, low-lying property with almost no topography and very few existing high-odds setups. From reading subtle elevation changes with 1–2 ft topo maps, to carving travel corridors through endless cover, to deciding which parts of the property simply aren't worth hunting, this episode is packed with real-world design lessons. You'll hear: Why lowland parcels “lay themselves out” once you understand their limitations How to create predictable deer movement where none exists naturally The role of mowing and selective clearing to form pinch points Access timing: why the season matters more on wet ground How to build complementary stand setups around small, shade-tolerant kill plots Mistakes most landowners make on flat, wet properties—and how to avoid them If you're dealing with marsh, swamp, flat timber, or wet fields, this episode is right in your wheelhouse.

Today's episode features Doug Jobes, Regenerative Ranching Advisor at the Noble Research Institute, whose background spans rural Georgia agriculture, the 75th Ranger Regiment, wildlife science, and rangeland ecology.

Doug also explains nesting cover vs. roost sites for turkeys, how to adapt your grazing plan for wildlife without sacrificing profitability, and why “realistic expectations” matter more than anything when managing both grass and critters.Topics CoveredDoug's journey from Georgia farm life → military service → wildlife science → Noble Research Institute.What “regenerative grazing + wildlife” really means.Why realistic expectations are key when managing habitat.How to inventory wildlife on your property.Differences in wildlife presence between neighboring properties—and why.Monetizing wildlife:Hunting leasesWaterfowl accessDove fieldsFishingEcotourismWildlife photography (and how competitive photographers are!)Habitat needs for:Bobwhite quailGrassland songbirdsWild turkeys—nesting cover + roost treesHow grazing decisions influence bird populations (Roots So Deep examples).Using rest periods strategically for wildlife habitat.The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) as a tool for understanding forage history.Doug's favorite book → Beef, Brush, and BobwhitesWhy market forces matter in conservation decisions.

Today's show will be a bit different. As I prepare to travel to Turning Point USA Headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, I thought it appropriate to publish this episode; to honor a man who believed deeply in America's promise—and whose life became a call to action. Charlie Kirk: A Legacy That Lives On. Charlie was more than a voice; he was a movement-maker at just 18 years old, when he founded Turning Point USA. Driven by faith, freedom, and the belief that every young person deserves a say in our future, he challenged the status quo. But on September 10, 2025, at what should have been another campus event for change, the unthinkable happened: Charlie was taken from us far too soon. His work, however, did not end that day—it transformed. As we honor Charlie, we'll walk through his beginnings, his beliefs, the lives he touched, the tragedy that shook us all, and the new chapter now being led by his widow, Erika Kirk. Because often when one life ends in sacrifice, the spirit of a mission only grows stronger. Let's begin...

The provided text is an article from an engineering and technology news source, IE Media, Inc., focusing on a significant development in ocean exploration. Specifically, the source details the unveiling of the Vanguard pilot subsea human habitat, which is the first of its kind in decades and was developed by the UK-based firm DEEP. The habitat is designed to allow scientists, explorers, and oceanographers to live and conduct research beneath the ocean's surface for extended periods, starting with missions of up to a week at a depth of about 65 feet. This new modular structure is intended to revolutionize marine conservation, climate monitoring, and potentially astronaut training by eliminating the need for frequent resurfacing and expanding access to largely unexplored ocean areas.

Hill country presents some of the most complex challenges in whitetail habitat design. Between steep ridges, narrow benches, rugged drainages, and unpredictable access, many landowners struggle to crack the hill country code. In Part 2 of our Habitat Design Breakdown Series, we analyze a hill country parcel and show how to create high-odds hunting opportunities—even when most bedding is on the neighbors. We cover: • When inside-out access is the only workable solution • How deer use ridge lines, drainage tops, and side-cover to travel • Leveraging neighboring pressure and habitat to your advantage • Turning open hilltops into usable structure and predictable movement • Building bulletproof pinch-point setups using terrain, waterholes, and mock scrapes • Why stand burnout is the #1 issue on small hill country parcels • How to hunt hill country in seasons, not stand locations Hill country is challenging, but when you design around deer movement, not property boundaries, you can create some incredibly consistent hunting.

What if perfection wasn't about behaving flawlessly - but about expressing mercy from who you already are? In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock unpack the eBook How to Be Perfect, and they flip the entire idea of perfection on its head. Instead of moral pressure and performance, they explore Jesus' teaching that perfection looks like mercy, not mastery - and how experiencing God's love transforms the way we express it to others.You'll hear:

Duck hunters love to debate season dates and often, those opinions line up perfectly with their own decoy spread. But for those who manage habitat, timing isn't just about convenience; it's about biology, migration timing, and season-long sustainability for private and public land duck hunters. Aligning habitat strategies with season frameworks requires balance, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of what ducks need—and don't—before, during, and after the season.Plus, David Schuessler, Ducks Unlimited's National Director of Event Fundraising, joins us to talk about DU's Into the Vault Auction — where hunters and collectors alike can bid on rare waterfowling treasures old and new, with every dollar supporting the wetlands and wildlife we all depend on.>>>Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Diamond M Land Development, and Ducks Unlimited.Send us a textAll Rights Reserved.
