Habitat Podcast #397 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Adam Miller!

We discuss:

-Why Adam says killing a 170 in Iowa Zone 7 wouldn't make him a better hunter.

-How Adam drew Iowa Zone 7 with three points and is going mostly as Joe's cameraman.

-Why out-of-state deer forgive mistakes that Michigan deer would never let you make.

-Adam missing the same buck three times in a single sit and emptying his quiver.

-The October 23rd school drop-off that cost him a shot at a giant tending a hot doe.

-Why Jared likes the last 10 days of October in Michigan better than November.

-Adam's new 300-acre lease with only 10 acres of timber, all stacked in the center.

-Why that center wood lot beds deer early and turns into a ghost town after leaf drop.

-Where acorns rank against alfalfa, beans, and corn when deer have unlimited food.

-Year five of Adam's public land Patreon camp with 25 to 50 guys and zero assigned spots.
