Habitat Podcast #408 – In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Art’om Rank!
We discuss:
-Art’om splits one overgrown cedar thicket on his 8.5 acres into three separate bedding areas.
-Trail cameras show bucks moving cedar to cedar as the wind shifts, and he sets up in the gaps between.
-He studies forestry at Glenville State and gets a key to the college farm so he can hunt before class.
-He splits an acre food plot into five zones of sorghum or miscanthus so a buck has to walk in to check it.
-That divided plot puts a buck he calls Mr. Clean at 18 yards, exactly the way he drew it up.
-He plants one or two Chinese chestnuts near where he wants to kill a buck, then backtracks him on camera.
-A buck’s core bed tells him the cover type, so autumn olive bedding points him to every autumn olive patch.
-A noon trail cam photo of a target buck means he hunts that evening, opposite the way the buck is facing.
-An old oak limb with no scrape under it works as a “doorbell” every deer touches coming onto his parcel.
-Clover seeded on his access trails pulls deer into brassicas wrapped by an overgrown apple orchard.
And So Much More!
