Just got access to a new hunting property but have no idea where to start? In this episode, Jake Hofer asks Steve Hanson, Don Higgins, Skip Sligh, Mark Kenyon, Jeff Sturgis, Bobby Kendall, and Bill Winke what their first moves would be on a brand-new farm. When time is short and the season’s closing in, how do you scout efficiently, hang smart setups, and make the most of fresh ground? Whether it’s a lease, permission piece, or new purchase, the crew shares how they quickly evaluate a property, what signs to key in on, and how to avoid burning it out too early. If you're starting from scratch, this episode will help you hit the ground running. #fueledbynature #meateater ---------------- Check out the new Wired to Hunt vintage hat! https://store.themeateater.com/products/vintage-whitetail-wired-to-hunt-edition-hat?variant=42045719314530 Check out the gear the MeatEater Crew uses in the field here: https://store.themeateater.com Follow us: Web: https://www.themeateater.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/meateater Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StevenRinellaMeatEater Thanks to our sponsor Land.com
