Small Deer to Big Deer with Dr. Bronson Strickland
from Land & Legacy - Habitat + Hunting · host Adam Keith
This will likely be one of our best podcasts in awhile! No offense to the previous and the future podcasts but Dr. Bronson Strickland covers one of our favorite research projects we've ever read about. Isn't the dream for all whitetail deer managers that you could take your small deer and small antlered deer and turn them into bigger deer? We cover it here this week. It's not as easy as it may seem but through this research it gave hope to guys like us managing in an overlooked part of the world due to the sheer small sizes of the deer. This is generational not yearly changes, this isn't just culling inferior bucks, this is complex but more simple than you might think! Now, even with all this management and changes in the habitat we still have to worry about dispersal and we're ultimately giving our deer everything they can have to send the yearling bucks packing to our neighbors right?! Not so fast! We have an idea! https://extension.msstate.edu/sites/default/files/publications/publications/p3013.pdf
