Ep. 150 Jace Elliott
from Beasts Of Burden Hosted by Beasts Of Burden
In this episode, I chat with Jace Elliott. Iowa DNR Whitetail Deer Biologist. In this interview Jace and I chat about the reality of managing Iowa deer herds with EHD in the environment. Jace and I discussed managing deer herds, how many is it ok to take, how those with high EHD cases should manage deer, how the DNR in Western Iowa is working with hunters and landowners to help grow the deer population back to where it was prior to EHD, the future of CWD in Iowa, the role of predators and deer numbers, and how Iowa needs a culture shift to allow more private land access to be more effective in managing deer numbers and recruitment for future hunters. Folks, it's been a wild day. Clearly in the audio you can hear my kids being kids asking questions. I need to go back and listen to the show and see which links I mentioned to provide. I will add links to studies so you folks can inform yourselves as well. Here are the links I do remember: Why Are Deer on the Decline in Western Iowa: https://deerassociation.com/why-are-deer-on-the-decline-in-western-iowa/ Both the Doe Hunter Registry and EHD or Bluetongue Reporting Buttons are on same page https://www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/Deer-Hunting?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery Doug Duren's Sharing the Land https://www.sharingtheland.com/
