Description
Habitat Podcast #347 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with my good friend and repeat guest Jake Hofer. We discuss:
- Jake Hofer is a land agent and passionate whitetail enthusiast in Illinois
- Trail cam activity is picking up as fall approaches, exciting hunters
- Land sales are slower, with limited inventory available in the market
- Jake emphasizes the importance of soil quality for planting trees and food plots
- He has planted around 4,000 trees on his property, seeing significant growth
- Food plots are crucial for deer health; Jake uses sorghum for cover and grain
- Access to hunting areas is vital; staying off the land until the right time is key
- Auctions can be an effective way to buy land, but require careful preparation
- Measuring success includes tracking mature bucks and shed antler counts
- Jake believes having multiple hunting spots improves deer management and success
