Bowhunting, Land Leases, and Managing for Monster Bucks
In this episode of the National Land Podcast, host Mac Christian sits down with Christian Berg, Editor-in-Chief of Bowhunter Magazine, and Aaron Sutton, a land broker with National Land Realty and president of NLR’s hunting lease division. Christian shares his journey to becoming one of bowhunting’s most influential media voices, while Aaron recounts how he built a career centered around land & hunting.
The conversation dives deep into the challenges and benefits of leasing hunting land, and how managing hunting pressure and property access are key to growing trophy whitetails. They discuss the rising popularity of hunting leases, the impact of skyrocketing land values, and the critical need for clear expectations and contracts between landowners and lessees.
Whether you’re a seasoned hunter, landowner, or just want to understand how leasing can provide better access to quality hunting, this episode is a masterclass in the intersection of land and wildlife management.
