Sportsmen's Nation - For The Die-hard Sportsman

This week Mark covers what you can be doing right now to prep and scout deer for early season and rut hunting. Changes on the landscape, food plots and agriculture crops should be assessed to determine how deer will use them this year. Especially, when you can identify "deer magnet" sites that other hunters will overlook. Like a clear cut.  Mature bucks are hiding out in tight core areas. Locate now to help reduce pressure during mid to late summer. Bucks will remain in these core areas up until the pre-rut. Locating pregnant doe group bedding now will improve your rut hunting.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Mitch chats with Jared Van Hees. Jared is the host of the Habitat Podcast, and he and Mitch discuss the journey of the show as well as Jared's land purchasing and managing. Jared has acquired more knowledge in this time than most will in a lifetime through hard work and networking from a diverse group of habitat managers. As we reflect back on this process, we discuss a few obstacles that folks newer to the world of habitat management may face.Goal orientation is of utmost importance. In fact, being oddly specific with goals will help guide the land purchasing and managing journey the best. Oftentimes, having someone to help you along the way without the emotion of a large land purchase is well worth the investment. They can also steer you away from bad decisions that can change the course of a property for a lifetime, such as timber cutting. Managing timber harvests with professionals is extremely important for your habitat and hunting goals, as wel

On this episode I have a great conversation about an incredible run of three turkeys in three hunts on one piece of property, but there is a fun twist. This is not your typical super managed farm nor is it in a dynamite area, it's just a humble premission piece. We dive deep into why you need to get more permissions and how to do that. Topics include: bowhinting turkeys, gaining and keeping hunting permission, call and setup strategy, being able to focus on the goal rather than the work and why it's absolutely worth it to work on getting new places to hunt.
