Understanding Thermal Optics And Their Uses
This is Huntin’ Land, the podcast for landowners and land hunters. If you like to stay up to date on hunting tactics, land management, land values, and land market dynamics, this is the podcast for you. On this episode, Clint and Joe talk understanding thermal optics and starting to hunt with them with Steve Lemenov of ATN Corp. Alabama recently legalized the hunting of feral swine and coyotes at night. When you begin discussing hunting at night, the use of thermal optics is bound to come up. So, this week on Huntin’ Land, we’re going to give you a primer on thermal optics that will help you if you’re considering adding some to your arsenal.
As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like, “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.
Each week, on the Huntin’ Land Podcast, we will bring in various experts to help provide answers to the important questions landowners have. This week, Jonathan Smith, Executive Director at TimberMart-South, gives the latest Timber Market Update for the state of Tennessee.
