Herbicides are becoming an increasingly contentious subject in the habitat and food plot management world. There are many valid concerns surrounding their use, but do these concerns outweigh their value? Bronson and Moriah are joined by Luke Resop of the MSU Deer Lab to tackle this topic and discuss how they approach the herbicide issue when managing habitat for game species.
Join the guys and Dr. Will Gulsby for a fast paced discussion on various turkey management topics. Key topics include determining ideal management unit sizes, quantifying population responses to habitat work, establishing sustainable harvest rates for your property, and more.
In habitat management we talk a lot about the benefit of forest thinning on forage and cover production, but how do you accomplish this while not hindering future timber value? The short answer, is that context is important and there are always tradeoffs to consider. On this episode we're joined by Jonathon Stoll, our professional forester, to discuss the pitfalls of aggressive thinning and what you should consider when decidi...

If you're wondering how to tweak management on your property for better quality turkey habitat, look no further. Drs Marcus Lashley and Will Gulsby talk with Moriah about the most common issues they see on properties and how a few simple tweaks can greatly move the needle for turkey management. From prescribed fire to food plots, brooding plots, and more, the guys discuss some clear achievable improvements you can make on your...
Most recreational properties in the southeast are covered with food plots. Do these food plots add habitat value for quail, or do they just get in the way? Bronson, Moriah, and Dr. Mark McConnell discuss food plots and their value to quail at length, giving you insight into how you can improve food plot value for bobwhite.
How many deer are on the property you hunt, or state you live in? Do we really need to know these numbers to effectively manage deer populations? Deer management is saturated with talk about deer population estimations, but seldom do you hear discussion on why we monitor populations and more importantly what information we need to do so. Bronson, Bonner, and Moriah discuss these questions and how they approach deer population monit...
A historical winter storm ripped across the southeast in late January 2026, leveling some forest stands and severely damaging others. This is a pivotal point for these properties, as landowners must decide how to best manage stands after this catastrophe. Dr. Brady Self, an extension forestry professor for Mississippi State University, joins Bronson, Bonner, and Moriah on this episode to discuss the damage and parameters that shoul...
Thermal drones are all the rage, but they are not a silver bullet and have serious limitations when used to develop deer population estimates. Bronson, Bonner, and Moriah discuss the strengths and weaknesses of thermal drone surveys and how Wildlife Investments uses this new technology alongside long-term datasets to fine tune deer population management.
The best habitat in the world can't offset an overabundant deer population. Bronson, Bonner, and Moriah discuss the challenges of maintaining an adequate doe harvest and why this is such an important component of well-managed properties.
Quality quail habitat can also double as a big buck breeding ground, but you won't make it happen by accident. Dr. Bronson Strickland, Dr. Mark McConnell, and Bonner Powell break down where deer and bobwhite management overlap, where it doesn't, and why thermal cover might be the most overlooked factor on your property.
Why can't you grow big bucks on your property? High grading might be the problem and you may not even know you're doing it! Selective buck harvesting is necessary when managing for age structure and trophy potential, but it opens the door to high-grading. Dr. Bronson Strickland, Bonner Powell, and Moriah Boggess explain why antler-based harvest rules often backfire. Thankfully, they also give some simple strategies to min...
The opener of gun season no doubt alters deer movement, but does it make deer movement nocturnal? This is a common claim among hunters and there is certainly a lot of anecdotal evidence reported from the deer woods on the subject, but what does science say? Dr. Marcus Lashley, Dr. Bronson Strickland, and Moriah Boggess discuss a research project that measured deer activity in Mississippi before and during rifle season. The results ...
