Rubs, Scrapes, and UV Light: What Deer See That We Don’t, with Daniel DeRose-Broeckert

from NDA’s Deer Season 365 · host National Deer Association

In this episode of the Deer Season 365 podcast, we're talking with University of Georgia graduate student Daniel DeRose-Broeckert about his fascinating new deer vision research. What Daniel discovered is that rubs and scrapes actually glow like highway reflectors to a deer's unique eyes. This is fascinating research that will not only open your eyes to a whole new way deer may view their world, but it also reinforces how little we truly know about white-tailed deer, despite them being the most studied game animal on the planet.
