In this BAK40 Episode of the Two Bucks Podcast, Brian is joined again by habitat consultant Jaden Bjorklund for an in-depth conversation on how to get the most out of your toughest acres—especially wetland swamps, dense alder thickets, and low-value land that’s often overlooked. They talk about structure, bedding, water management, tree selection, and all the small projects that can turn a difficult property into a high-impact hunting farm. Whether you're managing a property full of challenges or just trying to add value to forgotten corners, this episode is packed with ideas and real-world strategies to help you get started.
Key topics discussed:
• How to evaluate and improve wetland bedding areas using elevation and structure
• Practical strategies for creating travel corridors and funnels in thick, unmanageable cover
• Using LIDAR and boots-on-the-ground scouting to locate micro-elevation changes
• Tree species selection for bedding, screening, and water management—including spruces, red maples, and crab apples
• How to start your own nursery and maximize the long-term value of fruit tree plantings
