Habitat Podcast #398 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Lincoln Rohn! We discuss: -Lincoln pulled about 50 stumps out of an acre-and-a-half plot near Free Soil and left three on purpose. -Why Lincoln leaves stumps and pine pods standing in a plot — deer hold to structure the way bass do. -The stump bucket serration that laid Lincoln's knee open, and why he pulled his pant leg down and kept cutting. -Lincoln walked into his cabin carport this spring and found $100,000 of equipment in a foot of water. -Why Lincoln will not warranty a food plot install, and what he offers a client instead when it won't rain. -The raccoon killing spree that brought his turkey flock back — and created a brand new plot problem. -How $4 gas and the strikes in Iran shut off Packer Maxx website sales for ten straight days. -The standalone crimper drum that slipped to spring, and why Lincoln refuses to release it early. -Lincoln's read on Michigan's recreational feeding law: no CWD risk at 100 yards, a crisis at 101. -Why Lincoln believes a one-buck rule gets more does shot, and the $4.2 million grant he can't ignore.
