Habitat Podcast #240 – In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, Jared sits down with the owner of singing hills deer camp Bill Friedrich. We get into the rich history of this family-owned hunting camp, spanning 613 acres and cherished by multiple generations. Bill shares experiences with food plots, habitat work, and the importance of effective deer habitat management. We discuss:
- The strong tradition of deer camps in Michigan and the importance of preserving it
- Managing 600+ acres
- Implementing an antler point restriction for the camp
- Different food plot and timber techniques used at the camp
- Understanding the role of habitat management in the United Country Midwest Lifestyle
- Planting beans on a small acreage proved futile as the deer quickly devoured them
- The experiment of using surveyors tape to keep deer out of beans initially succeeded but ultimately failed
- Catching the neighbors on trail camera poaching a 500+ pound bear
- Asking around town and getting the cold shoulder because he was asking people involved
- The local prosecutor, who was friends with the hunters involved, initially showed reluctance in handling the case
- Unique food plot fencing techniques
- Utilizing standpoint wells to help combat summer drought
And so much more!
