Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 80: 3rd Anniversary of Southern U w/ R.L. Foster
Q: I've got seven mature does at one camera and no fawns. Extremely worried about predators or breeding issues. What should I do?
The hosts advise confirming that the animals are mature does rather than yearlings, considering factors such as predators, habitat, roads, and neighborhood dogs, and conducting an earlier-season camera survey to see whether fawns are born and later disappear. They also recommend consulting a biologist and considering local recruitment rates.
EP 80: 3rd Anniversary of Southern U w/ R.L. Foster
Q: I'd like for you to discuss the possibility of introducing elk to Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. What hurdles must be overcome? What areas are ideal? What must take place to get that idea in the state's hand? Or is it a bad idea or is it a good idea? If that was going to happen in the Southeast, is it even feasible?
The panel considers elk reintroduction unlikely because of political opposition, concerns about crop damage and vehicle collisions, fragmented land, and the large acreage needed to support a population. They contrast the Southeast with places such as Kentucky and Pennsylvania, where suitable large areas have supported reintroduction.
EP 77: Beyond The Photo (Successful Trail Camera Scouting with Brian Dunn)
Q: Brian, in your opinion, what are some of the biggest mistakes hunters make with trail camera placement?
Common mistakes include pointing cameras toward the sun, not considering prevailing wind, and mounting cameras to get only straight-on views of trails; instead, place cameras at angles to capture better profiles and use wind to your advantage.
Episode 50: Early Season Gear with Parker McDonald
Q: What is Parker's preferred gear setup for the early season and why?
Parker favors a minimalist saddle setup (the Mantis, then Carnivore two-panel) for early season because it reduces bulk, keeps weight down, and minimizes sweat while still enabling mobility to access hot, bug-heavy woods; he also emphasizes the importance of a versatile, lightweight pack that can carry camera gear and a deer in one trip.
Southern Waterfowl Habitat with Corey Adams
Q: How long before owners see a positive impact after starting habitat improvements?
He notes it depends heavily on location, water sources, and whether the project targets a roost or feeding area. Some improvements may show rapid benefits if positioned near refuges, but generally, results accrue over multiple seasons as ducks imprint and adjust to new layouts and crops.
