The Habitat Podcast is a podcast for land and wildlife habitat managers, and for hunters who learn and utilize different types of habitat in their hunting strategy. We interview hunters and habitat managers from across the country, picking their brain to learn their success's and failures. We are different in the fact that we are not the experts. This podcast is for us and the listeners to learn a thing or two, from the experts we analyze.Copyright 2022 Habitat Podcast LLC | All Rights Reserved

    407: He Accidentally Shot a Buck in the Head, Then It Tried to Kill Him with Mike Hlavaty
    Oct 16 2026
    Habitat Podcast #407 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Mike Hlavaty! We discuss: -Mike hunts a coal strip mine in Muskingum County alone at age 10, long before youth seasons or hunter safety. -He and his brothers build ladder stands out of electrical conduit, hammering the steps flat and painting them. -Mike crossbow-shoots a buck in the head the night before Ohio's gun opener, and it runs him over in the dark. -He escapes by ramming the buck's head into a TV antenna tower, then waits it out from his stand for hours. -An antler opens his neck up behind his ear, he's in the ER until 6 a.m., then goes back out and shoots a doe. -Mike buys land with tillable ground so the farm rent pays 100 percent of his real estate taxes. -A reappraisal tripled some of his property values, and he calls a tax on owning land a sin. -U.S. Fish and Wildlife's partner program designs his wetland units, built on clay-core "mushroom" berms. -His excavator bids nearly 50 percent under the other contractor and saves Mike a bunch on the build. -In the spring his wetlands hold 500 to 1,000 pintails at a time, plus hundreds of swans. And So Much More!

    Oct 9 2026
    Habitat Podcast #406 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are at deer camp with the Habitat Podcast Patreon Hunt crew! We discuss: -Twelve Patreon members hunt Michigan state land from Latitude saddles over the archery opener. -Jared holds at full draw for 55 seconds before heart-shooting a doe while Matt films from 50 yards. -Andy and Matt find a ditch of dropping pin oaks that holds the most sign they saw all weekend. -Matt climbs four sticks above an old ladder stand in a cottonwood to watch most of a thicket. -Drew and Clyde paddle a canoe across unfamiliar water in the dark to reach their opening-morning spot. -Clyde loses his first deer since he started hunting in 2019 after a 500-yard blood trail goes cold. -Corey says the camp hit roughly 50% success on public land in just two days of bow hunting. -Jeff takes his first deer out of a saddle, less than a year after learning at the last Patreon hunt. -Scott, a private-land hunter from West Virginia, is caught off guard by Michigan's public land pressure. -Joel watches a big buck quarter away toward the CRP and passes because the angle is wrong.

    #405 - He Spent 14 Years Perfecting 26 Acres: Heres What Worked with Gavin Sodders
    Oct 2 2026
    Habitat Podcast #405 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Gavin Sodders! We discuss: -Gavin transforms his family's roughly 26-acre Indiana hayfields through fourteen years of habitat work. -Gavin watches more than 500 persimmon trees emerge naturally after years of trial-and-error habitat work. -Gavin learns why oversized square food plots and mowing the entire property leave deer without cover. -Gavin uses a central access trail and a button-hook approach to reach stands before deer hit his scent. -Gavin plants six micro plots, favors clover, and keeps most of his roughly 26 acres in thick cover. -Gavin uses five cell cameras for inventory and past movement patterns instead of chasing fresh pictures. -Gavin builds a close-range funnel with old hinge cuts, fence openings, a cedar stand, and mock scrapes. -Gavin adds kiddie-pool water holes even though a spring-fed creek already runs through the property. -Gavin stays off his property ahead of its prime rut window instead of hunting it hard in early October. -Gavin shares why family memories matter more as his parents prepare to sell the property. And So Much More!
