Podcasts about habitat management

The technology regarding suppressed shotguns is advancing, but how long will it take to become useful afield? Host Cason Short knows a ton about the subject from a layperson's standpoint and shares where the industry is headed. The passage of the Big Beautiful Bill and its $0 tax stamp on suppressors has generated considerable buzz. The guys also get into pressure and the role that shotgun blasts play. From subgauges to the potential future viability of suppressors to lessen the disturbance of ducks.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.

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. Protecting the Prairies: Lorne Scott and the Politics of ConservationLorne Scott WikipediaDU Canada Celebrates Lorne Scott as Saskatchewan Volunteer of the YearThanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, and Ducks Unlimited.Duck Hunting podcast, Arkansas duck hunting, waterfowl conservation podcast, outdoors podcasts, huntingSend us a textAll Rights Reserved.

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.   Social Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en https://www.theuntamedambition.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

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!

A diverse background ranging from dirt work to duck guide led Hunter Johnson to managing habitat for a pair of top-notch Arkansas duck clubs. With one on the famed Grand Prairie and the other in the Cache River Bottoms, Johnson employs diverse strategies to attract and hold ducks throughout a sixty-day duck season. The guys discuss habitat, food plots, timber stand improvement (TSI), flooded unharvested crops, pressure management, and scouting. Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Ducks Unlimited, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Lile Real Estate and Purina Pro Plan.Send us a textAll Rights Reserved.

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.

Strap in for another research review as we dive into scientific studies assessing characteristics of effective nesting sites. We discuss the critical aspects of nesting cover for wild turkeys, the dilemma of habitat preference versus availability, and the implications of these factors on turkey population success.

Ian Wargo is a first generation Montanan who is a member of the Region 1 FWP Citizen Advisory Council and FWP Mule Deer Citizen Advisory Council. He is an avid outdoorsman, hunter and concerned resident on the state of the land, herds and practices impacting wild spaces in Northwestern Montana. We discussed potential common ground issues between the non-consumptive and hunting communities, including the sale of federal public land, changes to habitat management, and their impacts. Additionally, we explored topics such as studying predation and environmental easements. **This is Part 2 of our 2-part discussion with Ian.**@thewolfconnectionpod

Our buddy and Drake Waterfowl's Vice President of Development Jim Ronquest joins the show again. He's fresh off the NWTF Convention and shares insight into Drake's new campaign, “Make Boat Ramps Great Again.” We also dive into Jim's square-body Chevrolet truck restoration, duck boats, reuniting with John Stephens, and the future of RNTv. Be sure to stick in until the end, where we talk about what worked with last year's habitat projects, what's on the list this year, the mast crop bust, and other oddities from this past season.Thanks to our sponsors: Lile Real Estate, Sitka Gear, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Tom Beckbe, Ducks Unlimited, KC Laser, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine and Purina Pro Plan. Send us a textAll Rights Reserved.
