Let's delve into the second of four items I shared in an October social media posting - that small property owners should above all else prioritize.

This episode (and three more) were triggered by an October 2023 posting which shared that there are four things that despite all the unique traits and situational difference properties can have; these four things will never fail a property owner in finding success should they focus on these four. This is especially crucial on small properties.…

Let's revisit a social media post I made about a mistake I see many hunters make early season, and why I don't think it deserved nearly the blowback it got.

Few days prior I shared a short video requesting everyone ask themselves one question whenever they hear someone in the hunting industry speak on a product, tool or thought - "Is what they're saying being influenced by money?" Such a simple thought, yet some were quite riled up thinking I was discussing them specifically and wanted to know why I di…

In this episode I discuss one of the yearly topics which gets emailed in, or prompted on various platforms across numerous locations...."How do I go about killing a good buck in the early season?"

This is Part 6 of 6 planned podcasts discussing the "perfect" property pyramid. This pyramid lays out what 5 aspects/traits of a property I feel I've seen in or on every property I know has yielded sustained success for hunters chasing not just whitetail deer, but bucks that sit in that top 15% or so of their localized deer herd's age bracket. This…

On this episode I discuss some of the most common food plot failures many run into and things to keep in mind as promised in the previous episode.

Here I vent and share how last year was a season that couldn't end fast enough for me. The struggle to find motivation to hunt and let alone make content is also discussed. All of that leads into a discussion of specific things I'll be doing this year in an attempt to not allow this past seasons' "failures" merely repeat again.…

In this episode I sit down with Matt Thielking, a hard working common man like you and I that over the past few years has been managing his small piece of land. Over that time he's learned through failures, successes and most recently through some key changes he did a little over a year ago; which have already illustrated to be successful. Link to …

Little check in episode where I discuss our plans for the coming weekend, go over some seed purchases (without discount), encourage everyone to make the hunting community a better place and finally provide the audio version of The Potential Is There. The Potential Is There is a write up I did for Real World Wildlife Products and pray it stirs up th…

Today I take a quick "detour" like trip conveying how fatherhood or Father's Day is something we can learn a decent amount on our hunting/land managing journeys. Little different spin, but I promise it will most likely make sense.

Let's chat on this episode about three things most landowners struggle with accepting they must control if they want to fully commit to success when it comes to a property conducive for daytime deer movement/use.

This episode is an in depth discussion with just a normal guy that dove head first into soil health about 18 months ago. We discuss his journey, no till operations, the life beneath our feet and how when everything is working together it is possible to eliminate fertilizer needs even!Various resources are discussed throughout the podcast and are li…

What a treat it was to sit down for nearly an hour and a half and chat whitetails with Jake Ehlinger. It is a blessing we will without question be having a follow up episode focusing more so on how to go about hunting a property once the habitat plan is falling into place. This episode however we touch on everything habitat and dabble in on an in d…

In this episode we breakdown in a bit more detail some of the work ahead of Pops and I at The22 property; including a few of the trees I have coming for this year. This discussions leads right into perhaps one question many folks want to avoid, but I feel we all need to honestly answer, "Are you growing timber or deer?" I also share the news about …

IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG! In this episode I touch on some of the reasons I've been away and hint at some changes on the horizon. However, we then slip into perhaps one of the most poignant writings I've shared in quite sometime - sit back and listen to the audio version of "Perspective in the Chaos". God bless and THANK YOU to each and every one of…

In this episode we discuss just how unprepared I feel heading into the season, real life reflections BUT we also discuss why above all that I am very excited for a promising fall season!!!

Short on time and guests schedules didn't allow...so let's chat quickly about my current situation, and also my 3 main food plot plans for the fall which rarely if ever change.

I'm going to delve into a concept which may seem odd coming from someone whom has consulted on numerous properties....but there is a pivotal piece most consultants don't want to discuss, ignore or downplay that above all else must be in place for success to occur. Let's discuss it.

After quite a hiatus thanks to moving houses, I finally get a podcast scraped together. More to come soon!

Let's finally delve into the discussion of the property itself habitat wise. I paint a picture of a hypothetical property and on this episode we focus primarily on cover. I touch on the basics or overview of where and why I may direct habitat improvements with cover/bedding in mind. ** Also I mention a way you can help me in the development of a ne…

So we have written down the goal of the property. We surveyed the SURROUNDING area of the property to see what strengths and weaknesses exist OFF the property....now we turn to the decisions ON the property. FIRST though...we must have the discussion over the most CRITICAL thing we have to make our property the BEST at: SECURITY.…

In this episode I discuss how being patiently persistent is CRUCIAL to pursuing your target bucks, but what does that exactly mean? You'll have to listen to find out! I also share a portion of the story of an INCREDIBLE buck and story that Pops and I lived out this past Friday, November 8th.

In this episode I update everyone on the ups, downs and recent harvests for my season as well as discuss future plans to punch another buck tag before the 2019 season ends. I grab a few questions sent in and share my thoughts on them along the way before the end too!

On this episode I share the brief personal update of the birth of my son Bryson. Born 9-3-19 at 1:23AM, my whole world changed for the better. I also give a plot update for all, touching on a property we cannot do extensive habitat work. However this year with the incredibly wet spring, we had the chance to do much more. Finally, the baiting debate…

In this episode of the podcast I attempt to breakdown and unpack various parts of what can make or break an entrance or exit route. Poor entrance and exit routes are easily the most common mistake I see hunters making when I tour or discuss their property/hunting set ups. I also touch on something in the works for all followers of Small Acre Huntin…

Here we tackle another "5 Mistakes" segment, but this time we focus on 5 things I feel hunters mistakenly do which greatly decrease their odds while pursuing mature or target bucks. This isn't about deer hunting in general...but honestly it'd fit for the most part in that discussion as well. Sit back, listen and please if you find it useful or wort…

Few days back I got a great question emailed in, "Ty, what are the main mistakes you feel land managers make?" That question triggered a video I have uploaded to Youtube and Facebook, but in this episode of the podcast we revisit and even flesh out those 5 things a little more. We also discuss a rare encounter with an amazing buck, that has quite t…

In this episode we discuss a brief update from myself, future podcast guests and ideas...as well as touch on the topic at hand - if unable to get your food plots in, how does that impact your deer and your year?

In this episode I'll take a few questions emailed in by listeners which amongst other things discuss neighbors and things I've done to foster good relationships with. However the big topic is the question of how I go about setting up my expectations for a season...what factors do I take into account when truly attempting to set my expectations or g…

This episode will cover 4 things that can or do make Spring a frustrating time of year for the land owner and deer habitat manager. We will also discuss the steps I recommend someone take when establishing a first time food plot, on poor quality soils (maybe just opened up). www.smallacrehunting.com Thanks for listening!…

This episode is a dedicated re-boot to the podcast forum for Small Acre Hunting.

Let's chat about what conservation is...should it impact you as a hunter and a hint at the logging going on as well at the New22.

Here I discuss mature buck tendencies I've tracked over the years and some things you should be doing as well!

?Let's discuss the "Purpose of Your Food Plots" as well as a brief Radix and Hitlist update from myself on this episode of SAH Podcast.

In this episode we discuss the latest issue surrounding Bill Busbice of Wildgame Nation (and other companies) and how we as sportsmen should react.We also briefly discuss an update on the new Radix trail camera I'm testing in the field for the first time this year!

Today I discuss the aspect that hunting should be 100% a personal thing. No one else's opinions or choices should ultimately control the decisions we as hunters make while up the tree.The song Back Home Again is utilized with permission from artist Zach Dubois and is off his album Destination Unknown.…
