The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 413: Jared Van Hees - Habitat PodcastIn this episode of the Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast, we dive deep into the real work behind better deer hunting: habitat management, food plots, timber cuts, hinge cutting, access, and how to think like a deer all year long. Jared Van Hees breaks down why chainsaw work can create more value than food plots alone, how logging changes deer movement, why thick cover and transition zones matter, and how to build a property that consistently holds and patterns deer.We also get into practical food plotting strategy for private land, including where to plant, how much to plant, and how to use small high-impact plots near stand locations to pull deer where you want them. Along the way, we talk saddle hunting, first-sit success, public vs. private land, out-of-state hunting, and the mindset shift that turns deer hunting into a year-round process.If you’re into deer hunting, habitat work, food plots, public land strategy, saddle hunting, and learning how to make properties better for wildlife, this episode is packed with useful, real-world insight.Topics covered: Deer habitat management Food plots and fall planting Logging, hinge cutting, and chainsaw work Deer movement and bedding cover Public land vs. private land hunting Saddle hunting and first-sit strategy Out-of-state whitetail hunting Building better deer propertiesSubscribe for more conversations about hunting strategy, land management, and creating better habitat for deer and wildlife.https://huntworthgear.com/ https://www.yellowstone.ai/  - CHRONICLES for 15% off https://www.paintedarrow.com - BHC15 for 15% offhttps://www.spartanforge.ai (https://www.spartanforge.ai/)  - save 25% with code bowhunter  https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com (https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/) shttps://www.zingerfletches.com (https://www.zingerfletches.com/) https://www.bigshottargets.com (https://www.bigshottargets.com/)  https://genesis3dprinting.com (https://genesis3dprinting.com/) https://vitalizeseed.com (https://vitalizeseed.com/) http://bit.ly/BHCPatreonLearn more about your ad choices.
