Ideally, what is the response, if a landowner can not answer this, then we have issues! Fire, ...

Stihl Before Steel
January 12, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBAs many hunting seasons are coming to a close around the country, landowners have the options of what they will focus on next.

December 22, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBWith everyone sharpening chainsaws and preparing to get some work completed, we wanted to take a moment to discuss what is impactful and what is not. There are so many time wasting techniques out there that seem to grab the attention and distract away from sound habitat management practices.

Pennsylvania Deer Management and Habitat Management
December 08, 2020 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MBWhen it comes to the hunting heritage in the state of Pennsylvania the roots run deep. Hunters flock to the woods during the firearms season in numbers that few states can compete with. The sheer amount of hunters headed to the woods creates a landscape where deer are conditioned to hunters and pressure.

What's the Difference between Bedding Areas and Sanctuaries?
December 01, 2020 10:00 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MBTime to set the record straight on terminology. Some of the most common phrases in the world of wildlife often get used incorrectly and then rarely implemented appropriately. The term bedding thicket and sanctuary are NOT interchangeable. Sanctuaries are often large vast areas that receive little to no human intrusion. The lack of human intrusion then begins the assumption that the area is secure and holding deer. A secure area doesn't necessarily hold deer, but an area that offer secure c...

This buck came in right at daylight and worked a scrape over hard. Thrashing antlers, breaking limbs, and pawing the ground, he did it all at just 35 yards.
