Episode Synopsis

As summer winds down, it's go-time for fall food plots and whitetail preparation. In this episode, we dive deep into land management strategies, habitat improvement, and wildlife conservation—Mississippi style. Jordan is gearing up for a busy planting season and shares updates on water conditions in the South Delta, food plot planning, and what’s the forecast for fall.
We also explore “undesirable” plants like coffeeweed, reflect on the rising interest in African hunting experiences, and break down what makes those international trips more attainable than most people think.
Then, it’s all about whitetail predictions: Hear Jordan Blissett’s outlook for this year’s deer season across Mississippi, fueled by a wet spring and lush native vegetation. Discover why central Mississippi is becoming a sleeper region for mature bucks, and how local landowners are maximizing their acreage for big deer—and even bigger results.
Whether you're a habitat manager, landowner, or die-hard deer hunter, you’ll find valuable insight on:


Food plot timing and strategy


Habitat benefits of prescribed burning


Antler growth trends after drought recovery


The evolving mindset around age structure and deer quality


How small tracts can produce giant bucks with the right approach


Plus, we chat about the Dallas Safari Club Expo, wildlife auction shocks (yes, a $120K donation!), and tips for improving your hunting land without breaking the bank.
