Ep 82: Land, Habitat, and Hunting Strategy – Ridge Hunter Outdoors

Mike Hemby/Holden Gilmer Season 1 Episode 82

In this episode, we sit down with Canyon Clark, founder and owner of Ridge Hunter Outdoors in Southern Illinois. Canyon has been immersed in whitetail hunting since the mid-2000s and is Deer Steward 1 Certified through the National Deer Association. Since founding Ridge Hunter Outdoors in 2018, Canyon has grown the brand from whitetail products into a full-scale platform for hunters—covering content creation, land consulting, property management, and retail.

We dive deep into the strategies and mindset that can take your hunting and land management to the next level, including:

  • Habitat management and land consulting services for whitetails
  • Key factors to consider when buying hunting property (access, food, water, cover)
  • Hunting strategy with a focus on property access and stand entry, not just wind direction
  • Food plot strategy—screening, edge creation, and building year-round variety for wildlife needs
  • Property management tactics to maximize deer movement and create better opportunities
  • The role of content creation and storytelling in today’s hunting world

Whether you’re looking to improve your own hunting ground, make smarter property investments, or refine your whitetail hunting strategy, this episode is packed with insights from someone who lives and breathes whitetails.
