EP 70: Depredation Permits "Who Qualifies and How To Get One"

Depredation permits are one of the most misunderstood tools in wildlife management — especially here in the Southeast. In this episode, we sit down with two wildlife biologists to break down what depredation permits really are, why they exist, and how they impact landowners, farmers, hunters, and conservation efforts across the region. We cover: • The science behind wildlife population control • Feral hogs, predators, deer, and nuisance species • How permits are issued and regulated • Common misconceptions surrounding wildlife management • The balance between conservation and protecting property • Ethical questions surrounding depredation practices • The future of wildlife management in the Southeast Whether you’re a hunter, landowner, outdoorsman, conservationist, or just curious about how wildlife policy actually works, this conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the realities biologists face every day.
