   92. Velvet Lies: Don’t Trust Your Summer Buck Photos

   91. How Will Your Property Hunt This Fall? Forecasting the 2026 Deer Season

   No hunting property stays the same from one season to the next. Changes in crops, native browse, rainfall, cover, neighboring properties, and hunting pressure can all reshape how deer use your land. In Episode 91 of the Design, Build, Hunt Podcast, Josh and Sam discuss how to read those preseason clues and forecast what your property may look like this fall. They discuss shifting food sources, water during dry conditions, first-year habitat improvements, changing travel corridors, neighboring land use, and the difference between calculated aggression and unnecessary risk. They also cover what can still be accomplished before opening day—and when it’s better to step back, observe, and let the property reveal how it wants to be hunted. Topics include: • How food availability changes throughout the season• Corn, soybeans, alfalfa, brassicas, and native browse• Rainfall, moisture, and productive water-hole setups• What to expect from new bedding areas and food plots• Using trail cameras to understand travel corridors• How neighboring crops, cover, and pressure affect your property• Recognizing the signs of a difficult hunting season• Productive last-minute improvements before opening day• When taking an aggressive hunting risk makes sense Learn more about your ad choices.
