Habitat Podcast #403 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Cory Franceus and Matt Zahl!
We discuss:
-Hutchy gets poison ivy and cellulitis prepping one stand in southern Ohio in 95-degree heat.
-Matt plants a sixteenth-of-an-acre plot in the middle of his swamp after a year of rain.
-The crew picks cereal grains and oats as the late plant if you're still stuck in a drought.
-Jared asks whether deer that survive EHD in Jackson County come back with any immunity.
-Matt builds an 8x8 hexagon blind with 13 plexiglass windows for about $1,200 on a bad knee.
-Cory won't shoot his 4-year-old from the same Banks blind because it felt like a video game.
-Cory's small fixed blade sat in an Iowa buck's lung for four days before a second arrow.
-Jared shoots a heavy high-FOC arrow but says fixed blades never bleed like expandables.
-Cory estimates a buck's score from ear length, eye spacing and base size in the field.
-Cory explains the NDA Field to Fork mentoring program on MeatEater's donated Back 40.
And So Much More!
