#294 - Making Habitat Improvements To Drought Proof Your Farm! Jared Van Hess from The Habitat Podcast

In today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are coming to you from the Total Archery Challange in Michigan with Co-Host of the Habitat Podcast Jared Van Hess. We chat about tips for attracting deer, dealing with drought, and improvements for the upcoming hunting season in Michigan. We also talk about the benefits of conservation easements and the thrill of improving your property. We discuss: Aggressive tillage can increase susceptibility to drought Protecting soil can make food plots more drought tolerant Plant trees and water them once every two weeks, using gravity-fed watering systems Water holes should be located in cover to attract deer and provide a natural path A failed food plot can be retried, get some sort of cover on the soil, or wait for the fall During June and July, focus on water holes, mock scrapes, and getting cameras ready Landownership is often demonized, but it is a rewarding experience and a legacy for families Water holes are underrated and important for wildlife survival during drought conditions Tucking water hole in the edge where it is surrounded by brush on three sides to limit access Land ownership can provide a legacy for future generations to enjoy And so much more!   Click Here To Build Your Set Of Exodus NIS Arrows: https://exodusoutdoorgear.com/collections/custom-arrows/products/the-nis   Enter Here For Your Chance At A $750 Prize Package From Exodus and Latitude: https://exodusoutdoorgear.com/pages/exodus-latitude-outdoors-giveaway?_pos=1&_sid=e1b0d40b5&_ss=r   CONNECT:  -https://linktr.ee/exodustrailcamera -https://bit.ly/TheDeerGearPodcast -https://linktr.ee/TheLandPodcast
