#47 "We’re Doing This Wrong.” Skip Sligh on Hunter Access & What We’ve Got Wrong About the Land

This week, Tyler sits down with hunting and land‑management expert Skip Sligh for a deep dive into the state of whitetail hunting, habitat strategy, and the future of conservation. From Skip’s unlikely journey—from city upbringing to landowner and farmer—to his disciplined approach to investing, consulting, and managing diverse income streams, this episode uncovers what it really takes to build a life rooted in the land. Together, they explore everything from timber stand improvement and coyote control to the ethics of land development, the pitfalls of parceling properties, and what buyers should look for when choosing a hunting farm. Tyler and Skip also break down the hot‑button issues shaping today’s hunting world: baiting, non‑resident pressure, regulatory challenges, and the ecological consequences of poor habitat practices. Packed with practical insights, controversial topics, and decades of hard‑earned experience, this episode is a must‑listen for hunters, landowners, and anyone passionate about wildlife and stewardship. 📢 Want to Learn More? 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @legacyacreslandco 💬 Drop a comment below: If you could fix one hunting regulation, what would it be?
