Lorne Scott has spent a lifetime invested in conservation in Saskatchewan while seeing an inordinate amount of change on the landscape. The family has farmed in the Prairie Pothole Region since 1915 and has seen it all. Scott pulls back the curtain on Prairie Canada with eye-opening insights into what is going on north of the border. The guys discuss non-existent wetland policies in Saskatchewan, habitat deterioration, staggering bird loss, Big Ag, the decline in native Canadians' interest in waterfowl hunting, Americans, tariffs, and out-of-whack drake-to-hen ratios. Listeners will want to stick in until the end, when Lorne provides insights into current conditions right on time with the USFWS/CWS May Pond and BPOP counts underway.

In this episode of Meet the Farmers, host Ben Eagle sits down with Alex and Emily Crawley, co-directors of Grazing Management Limited, to explore the concept of conservation grazing and their journey starting their business. Based in the Forest of Dean, the Crawleys are using native breed cattle, sheep, and goats to deliver environmental benefits on land managed by charities, government agencies, and private owners.Neither Emily nor Alex began their careers in agriculture. Emily comes from a background in the charitable sector (and also as a pilates instructor!), while Alex transitioned from a military and diplomatic career into land management, later earning a Graduate Diploma in Agriculture and becoming a Nuffield Scholar.Together, they've built a contract grazing business that earned them the British Farming Awards' New Entrant accolade within just two years. This conversation dives into three core themes: the power of farming to support environmental goals, the realities of starting a land-based business without owning land, and the bold personal journeys that led them to agriculture.
In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater and Thomas Mlsna (Untamed Ambition) discuss various aspects of managing hunting properties, focusing on soil analysis, planting strategies, and the importance of conifer planting. He emphasizes the need for proper soil preparation and the use of specific tools for effective tree planting. The conversation also covers the significance of tree spacing and long-term planning for successful habitat management. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various aspects of tree planting, focusing on techniques, strategies for orchard planting, innovative mulching methods, and the importance of fencing and protection for young trees. They also discuss the significance of selecting quality seed stock to ensure successful growth and production in the future. Takeaways: Soil analysis is critical for successful planting. Understanding soil pH is essential for plant health. Conifer planting requires careful consideration of species and size. Equipment plays a vital role in efficient tree planting. Subsoiling can improve water infiltration and root growth. Tree spacing impacts long-term growth and maintenance. Staggered planting can enhance visual appeal and management. Conifers provide excellent screening but require time to mature. Regular maintenance is necessary to manage invasive species. Planning for the future is crucial in habitat management. Consider spacing and tree size when planting. Plan for potential loss in tree survival. Wood mulch enhances soil health and moisture retention. Fencing strategies can protect young trees from deer and rodents. Planting in blocks can streamline maintenance and resource use. Quality seed stock is essential for successful tree growth. Orchard planting requires careful planning and protection. Innovative mulching techniques can improve planting success rates. Understanding deer preferences can inform planting choices. Layering plants in an ecosystem can maximize biodiversity.

Controversial Goose Management – Special Guest - Kaitlyn Barnes | The Green Way Outdoors Podcast After Kyle Green spoke out against goose gas chambers in a viral video, he got the attention of the Michimmgan DNR. So we invited Waterfowl Biologist Kaitlyn Barnes to come on the podcast and give the Department of Natural Resources' side of the story. In this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, we sit down with Kaitlyn Barnes, the Waterfowl Biologist for the Michigan DNR, for a deep dive into the most pressing waterfowl management issues affecting Michigan hunters and beyond. We engage in a strong but friendly debate over Canada goose population control, including the controversial use of gas chambers and nest destruction. Is this the right way to manage nuisance goose numbers, or is there a better solution? Other hot topics include: ✅ 2025 duck population projections – What can hunters expect next season? ✅ Deer culling – Should hunters be involved? ✅ Wood duck boxes – How hunters can help conservation efforts, but what they need to know before setting one up! Whether you're a Michigan waterfowl hunter, a Midwest conservationist, or just love the outdoors, this episode is packed with insight, debate, and must-know info for the 2025 hunting season!

The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 343 - Food Plots vs. Habitat Management: Are You Doing It Wrong?- Jared Vanhees - Habitat Podcast This week on the podcast we are joined by Jared VanHees of the Habitat podcast to discuss different strategies for habitat management outside of food plots, including fruit and screening trees, kill plots, funnels and purchasing your first property. Spring Preparation – Spring is the perfect time to focus on archery and habitat projects, including strategic tree planting and property management. Deer Movement Strategies – Habitat management techniques like hinge cutting, funnels, and screening with switchgrass can improve hunting success. Hunting Property Considerations – Evaluating property size, location, and neighborhood dynamics is crucial for acquiring and managing hunting land. Mature Deer Challenges – Hunting mature deer requires advanced strategies due to their heightened survival instincts. Public vs. Private Land – Each offers unique advantages; private land allows control over habitat, while public land provides more hunting opportunities https://habitatpodcast.com https://vitalizeseed.com/products/spring-food-plot-starter-kit https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% off https://www.spartanforge.ai - save 25% with code bowhunter https://www.latitudeoutdoors.coms https://www.zingerfletches.com https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.lucky-buck.com https://www.bigshottargets.com https://genesis3dprinting.com https://vitalizeseed.com https://waypointtv.com/#podcast If you like what we are doing and want to see more, please consider checking out our Patreon account.

Drones are everywhere, and while some still see them as toys there are some real advantages to them. Our own Brent Lochala has been flying drones for over 10 years and has an FAA part 107 license to operate them commercially. We get into some uses for them for owners and managers, some you are aware of and some you may not have thought of. From deer herd analysis, progression monitoring, flood control and drainage, to pine beetle damage survey, there are great uses for these unmanned aerial vehicles. But as we know, this technology has potential to push the envelope on hunter ethics.

All you ever wanted to know about king greenhead in this 4 part series about the History of the North American Mallard. In Part 2, we hit the highlights about what makes the greenhead population tick. What runs the mallard population? How does winter, spring, and summer make the mallard machine run? Dead hens don't lay eggs, right? But fat hens do, and once those ducklings hatch, what do they need to find their way down the flyways. Find out here today on The FowlWeather Podcast.
Whether you are planning your summer food plots, picking up sheds, or calculating your cost per pound in venison, just about everything in hunting and habitat management comes back to numbers. This is something that we always come back to in our discussions about whatever project we are working on, so we bet that you have too. While at first it can seem to complicate things, especially if math isn't your thing, it actually helps to take the guesswork out and makes us all more efficient. So whether you are calculating seed rates or trying to decide to drive or fly on the next trip, numbers ultimately determine what you do. Enjoy

Hunters across the country are scratching their heads on this duck season, and theories as to why it has struggled for so many abound. Cason and Brent sift through a handful of issues that came together before and during the season that are having a bonafide impact. They also wade into whether duck seasons should be managed for maximum opportunity or maximum population. The hosts tackle a touchy subject in just how much money is and the role of those standing to benefit from liberal seasons impacting season outlooks and reports afield. Plus, tune in for another hat giveaway with a new twist.Thanks to our sponsors: Lile Real Estate, Tom Beckbe, Ducks Unlimited, Sitka Gear, Perfect Limit Outdoors, KC Laser Co, and Purina Pro Plan.

We continue the gobbling activity conversation as Will walks us through the available research on the complex dynamics between habitat management, gobbling activity, and the overall health of turkey populations. We explore the significance of early successional cover, the impact of vegetation composition on gobbling rates, the challenges of researching gobbling, and our upcoming research that can help address some of these questions. If you haven't listened to Part 1 of this episode, we recommend listening to Episode 111 before returning to this episode. @davidfolker5850 please email wildturkeyscience@gmail.com to claim your signed potcall!

Grab a notepad and pen, because today we're diving into the complex factors influencing gobbling activity. In this Part 1 segment, Will walks us through the available literature on the seasonal patterns of gobbling, the relationship between gobbling activity and reproduction, the influence of weather and environmental conditions, the impact of hunting pressure, and more. Stay tuned for Part 2, releasing next Monday. @davidfolker5850 please email wildturkeyscience@gmail.com to claim your signed potcall! Resources: Bevill, W. V., Jr. 1973.
