About this episode

In this episode, Dave Hoy shares insights on managing a 10-acre property for deer hunting success.

Habitat Podcast #390 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Dave Hoy! We discuss: Dave harvested his biggest buck ever—a 145" deer—from 10 acres. The property's "mullet" design prioritizes access and deer security. Strategic screening allows stand access without alerting deer. Heavy cutting accelerated habitat improvements and bedding cover. Small properties allow for extremely detailed habitat management. Waterholes and mock scrapes are becoming key attraction points. Dave is growing over 1,000 trees in his habitat nursery. Integrated Habitat Solutions focuses on helping landowners execute projects. Many landowners need labor and guidance more than information. Quality habitat work saves years of trial and error.
