Change Your Pov Podcast

This week on the show we're joined by my friend Jason Crighton of Conserve the Wild to talk about Quality Deer Management. Jason is, as you'll recall from our first episode, an avid outdoorsman and conservationist.  Among other pursuits, Jason enjoys chasing whitetail deer, but also improving their habitat and their lives with Quality Deer Management.   According to Mark Kenyon of Wired to Hunt, Quality Deer Management (QDM) is a management philosophy/practice that unites landowners, hunters, and managers in a common goal of producing biologically and socially balanced deer herds within existing environmental, social, and legal constraints. You can join the Quality Deer Management Association here. As always, if you'd like to come on the show, I'm always interested in talking to folks about the pursuits they're passionate about. PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out to me to come on the show!

  SUMMARY: When I first got out of the Army in 2005 I was hitting the ground running and nothing was going to stop me. I was very successful in the Army and my plan was to apply those same ideas and principles to my life and career outside the military. What I discovered was a huge shock to my system... What made me successful in the military was not going to make me successful now that I was out.   What I also found was that there was a lot of things I didn't know, and for that matter was never taught. Even more, I didn't know who could, or would teach me all these things I didn't know but desperately needed to!   Over the next several weeks I am going to talk about 11 things that never get taught but you need to know! There is obviously way more than 11 things, but I picked these 11 things to start off this conversation.   If you want all the links, resources, and free downloadables for this and all the other episodes in this series it's easy...
