Todays episode is with Lindsay Thomas from the National Deer Association. Without a doubt this episode will provide more education, evidence and knowledge than all of our episodes combined.
National Deer Association is a non profit group focused on the future of wild deer, wildlife habitat and the future of hunting. We break down some of the myths and old wives tales surrounding hunting whitetails using research, evidence, and science. Lindsay breaks down the 4 most important factors for deer movement, specifically buck movement. The lack of evidence supporting the impact on moon phase and cold fronts on deer movement, which I think will hurt a lot of feelings out there however this evidence is based on multiple studies produced all across the country and not one persons opinion. The science behind doe harvest, buck to doe rations, and when you should consider harvesting does on your property to improve the habitat for other deer and have a more active rut.
Lindsay talks about the misconceptions of managing a wild deer herd through culling and talks through the evidence behind antler heritability.
My ask is that whatever your prior opinions, keep an open mind and remember that the things that Lindsay talks about are rooting in science and evidence not anecdotes and personal opinion.
Go check out the National Deer Association at https://deerassociation.com/ , they have incredible education, resources and they are helping to preserve the future of hunting for all of us.
