009: Managing Land, Managing Life | Aldo Maldonado

In this episode, I sit down with Aldo Maldonado to talk real ranch life in South Texas. We get into how drought hits wildlife, what it takes to manage habitat the right way, and how Aldo went from a small Texas town to running a ranch. He also shares what it’s like working with oil companies that use the land he manages, and how that overlaps with wildlife and habitat decisions. We break down what makes Texas whitetail hunting different, the story behind my buck on the ranch, and the balance of building this life while raising a family, holding onto faith, and doing things the right way for the long haul.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Podcast Setup05:13 Transition to Wildlife and Oil Industry12:36 Ranch Management and Day-to-Day Operations22:23 Wildlife Management and Outfitting29:06 The Joy of Hunting with Others35:09 Habitat Management and Wildlife Health41:04 Raising Children on a Ranch48:10 The Influence of Family and Faith••••Follow Aldo (Herrington Ranch): _herringtonranch••••My Website: www.codysilver.comIG: codysilver
