Summary

Habitat Podcast #299 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with repeat guest Al Tomechko. Normally when Al and I get together it's to talk about everything seeds and food plots. This time around, Al's freezer is a little more full so we dive into the story of the buck he just killed named Dozer. We discuss: The role edge feathering had in Al's success Cabon load and how well it did in a drought Hunting out of an enclosed blind A squirrel running all of the deer off? How far should you open the blind windows for bow hunting When in doubt, back out Never trust the weatherman when giving a deer time The state of deer hunting in Ohio Al's 15-year experience managing his farm Strategic planting based on the upcoming weather The significance of doe management in population control Don't overpressure your property Seeding trails that lead to your food plot Food AND cover, not just food How many deer can your farm actually handle And So Much More!
