Pro Staffer Phil is back in action for spring food plots! Let's join Phil for a fun and educational episode as he begins to capitalize on all of our late winter land clearing projects on his Southern Illinois land. Since February, 2022 we have been doing a lot of land clearing with my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator and his tractor with a future vision for his deer land management that he will continue on today! This is really pretty exciting stuff! Taking a raw and rough piece of land, or section of woods, and clearing it and creating a beautiful new food plot for deer and other wildlife! Also today I started in on my food plot preparation on our Southern Illinois farm, getting ready to try some new spring food plots again of a mixture of corn and soybean food plots!

Near Live update of our DIY goose nesting platform, baby goslings, surprises, Canada goose nest camera, a 2ND family of geese and more! This is wildlife photography of the 'average joe's' at it's finest! Join us for an update of how our TWO goose families are doing and see some up close real life wildlife activity and drama as we cover the last month or so of what has been going on with wildlife on our modern Southern Illinois homestead. We built this goose nesting platform 3 years ago and this year is the second year that wild Canada geese used it and successfully hatched baby goslings. We have a Reolink solar powered camera on the nest and this year, for the first time ever, one of the families is still using the DIY nesting platform at night to keep the goslings safe from predators! Very cool! Here are a couple of videos from past year's before we built the DIY nesting platform and the nests kept getting raided by bobcats and raccoons!

Just got this trail camera video clip. I can't be for sure but I saw a slight movement at one spot in the background. See if you can spot it and stay tuned for more critter cam investigations like this one. This camera is on an animals den, but this bobcat does not appear to be the critter hiding in the den! We live in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois and we are blessed to see tons of wildlife virtually every single day. We hope you'll join us on the channel for all kinds of land management and wildlife habitat improvements projects and country living adventures. Thank you!

Food plot update series 2022; Today we are continuing on another new food plot clearing expansion from my buddy Phil's farm (aka Kapper Outdoors pro staffer:). In the last episode of the new land management and food plot series we finished the land clearing part with my bobcat e42 R series mini excavator and 2 tractors clearing the trees and stumps from this new future food plot location. In today's episode we will take out my bobcat T650 CTL skid steer with a 4 in 1 bucket grading the rough dirt, potholes, stump holes and wet spots in order to A) get a decent rough grade on the new food plot project, and B) fill in the large stump holes so that they will start to dry out much faster. My buddy Phil will be using my Bobcat skid steer and my tractor 4 in 1 bucket to tackle this land management project. All in all it was definitely another 'clearing land for food plot' project series success!

The single most AWESOME property I have ever seen! PART 2 of 2! In case you missed PART 1 of this 83 acres in Southern Illinois property walkthrough, assessment and offer to purchase here is PART 1. You might want to see that one first: https://youtu.be/HSKtd5QLM3w Now for today's episode.. As a land investor taking beautiful hikes like this and exploring the Shawnee National forest area, with beautiful rock bluffs and is just a huge bonus! When we look at a property like this we look at quite a few things that many might not consider, one of which would be some land improvements. What kind of land improvements would benefit this property for a future owner? What kind of land improvements would increase its value? (both from a land recreation use and a financial benefit?) Join me and my buddy Curtis Rogers, from Midwest Farm & Land co, (BTW if you are interested in the property you can contact Curtis at (618) 384-7962 if you would like him to show this property to you for an objective 3rd person point of view) as we enjoy a nice April day exploring a great property that is currently for sale here in Southern Illinois! This property lays out very nicely, and we liked it so much that we actually put in a written cash offer to purchase it! In today's part 2 episode we will enjoy some beautiful scenery of incredible bluffs that border along the Shawnee National forest as this 83 acre parcel for sale borders hundreds of acres of the Shawnee National forest. But there are lots of things to consider when you are buying or selling land and today we will go over some of the really important items that we did outline in our offer to purchase this beautiful property! Does it have good and legal road frontage and property access? Does it have a survey? What are the bordering properties? What does the property have to offer? Are there line hunters? Does it border public land? Are there any easements? What about mineral rights? Let's dive in, do some cool land exploring right next to the Shawnee National forest, some antler shed hunting, a land assessment, talk about deer hunting land and deer habitat and options, food plot options, wildlife, bordering landowners and more.

EP #18 of our latest adventure/land investment project from our Southern Illinois farm. Join us today for today's Kapper farm vlog, the completion of the land clearing phase of our future cabin build site and the land clearing for the future pond dig! This is another project that will continue to enhance our land improvements on our Southern Illinois farm. As usual it took a little longer than expected but we finally got it done! In today's episode I'll take out my 2021 Bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator with my new Mongo mini excavator ripper attachment and take out some pretty good sized hardwood trees and some western red cedars as well as we complete the new vrbo cabin build site and then finish the new pond clearing project as well. Today was the first time I tried the new Mongo attachments mini excavator ripper, and it seemed to work quite well. Here is the link to the Mongo ripper video that I referenced in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciaIPPjYFyo Also in today's episode our builder, Isaiah, will tag team with me to get this new pond clearing done in short order. He will be using the bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator to finish clearing the trees and I will be in the bobcat t650 CTL skid steer with the root grapple to clear all of the cleared trees and debris and finish both the cabin clearing and the pond clearing before the rain hits us! Another successful day today for sure! This is our new series of the entire process of building a new VRBO rustic cabin build series from our Southern Illinois land, which is smack dab in the middle of the Shawnee National Forest here in Southern Illinois.
