About this episode

Thick woody cover consistently attracted more mature bucks. Switchgrass wasn't the best solution for his property. Access improvements changed how he hunted mature deer. A single community scrape outperformed multiple scrape locations. Trees and shrubs created better long-term habitat value. Habitat success comes from adapting, not following trends. And So Much More!
