Habitat Podcast #399 – In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Joe Allera!
We discuss:
-Joe buys 40 acres of wetland because 40 acres of tillable ground was priced out of reach.
-Joe cuts over 100 deer beds into his swamp transitions with a weed whacker and a saw blade.
-Joe reads marsh elevation off the vegetation: phragmites highest, reed canary the deepest.
-Joe hunts the wrong wind on purpose, blowing his scent straight into the bedding area.
-Eight mature bucks have come out of one Redneck box blind, all on the same wind.
-Joe runs a $100 Amazon ozone closet and says a boogeyman ain’t never been smelled.
-EHD killed 40% of the deer in Joe’s area last year and he is lowering expectations.
-The tamarack point by Joe’s lake holds the biggest bucks within five miles.
-Joe builds mock scrapes he calls cat toys and a merry-go-round of four around one oak.
-Joe fills five tags in seven weeks by taking mid-October to Thanksgiving off work.
And So Much More!
