#205 - Creating a Better Hunting Property By Managing Timber
The Hunting Public - A podcast by The Hunting Public
Categories:
My friends Larry Helmers, Ben and Keith Robinson have been working together on Larry's 80 acre property for the last four years to improve the wildlife habitat. The property is primarily timber and their management practices have greatly increased the number of animals that live on the property year round. When most whitetail hunters think of "land management" they think of creating food sources like food plots for wildlife. While this can be beneficial in some situations creating cover that is also a food source is a better long term solution to create a higher carrying capacity for wildlife. In this episode, the four of us discuss how they went about managing the timber and how the property went from being an average to below average place to hunt to being an incredible spot with multiple mature bucks, turkeys, and other game species living on it all year! Topics Include: -making a plan to manage timber -how improving timber stands creates more food for wildlife than food plots -how to do a prescribed burn and the benefits it has for wildlife Larry's Insagram Page - https://www.instagram.com/native_landscapes_ohio/ Ben's Instagram Page - https://www.instagram.com/benrobinson8483/ Keith's Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/OhioWild THP MERCH - https://bit.ly/30ZC1rm - Get 10% off THP Merch w/Code THPPODCAST GoWild - Save 10% on orders w/code THP - https://bit.ly/3i4c15r OPTICS - 10% off Vortex Optics w/code THP10 - https://bit.ly/3AOdKDQ TURKEY CALLS - Get 10% off Woodhaven Calls w/coupon code - THP2022 - http://bit.ly/2IagiSe MAPPING - Get 20% Off OnX Hunt!
