  • My favorite podcast!

    I listen to a lot of different podcasts both hunting related and otherwise, but this is the first podcast I make time for every week if my time is limited. This podcast came out while I was in the middle of my first land purchase and I’ve been hooked ever since. It has great information for current landowners looking to add to their knowledge, and provides inspiration for people looking to buy their first, (or next) property. Thank you Jake for all of the information you’ve shared!

  • Bought our 1st piece of ground

    I just discovered this podcast about about three months ago and have been working my way through each episode. So much information I wish I had seven years ago when we bought our first piece, but it’s coming in handy now as we start to think about buying a second piece of ground!

There is lots of good information on habitat improvement that benefits hunting and increases the value of your property. Jake asks the questions that you want asked.
