Episode Synopsis

This episode kicks off our Habitat Design Breakdown Series — a multi-part dive into how different habitat and terrain types influence design, movement, and hunting strategy.

In this first installment, we break down a true farm country property: flat terrain, isolated woodlots, and agriculture in every direction. Josh and Sam walk through a real South Central Wisconsin woodlot and show how small parcels in ag country can be designed to hunt bigger and more consistently.

You’ll learn:

- How to adjust hunting strategy when cover is the limiting factor

- How to design predictable movement in small woodlots

- Where blinds and stands belong for clean, repeatable access

- The biggest mistakes hunters make on ag-dominated ground

- The #1 improvement farm country landowners should tackle first

This series will continue with hill country, marsh properties, pine plantations, big timber, and mixed habitat—each with its own design principles and hunting strategies.
