#208 - PROOF That NO BUCK is NOCTURNAL! - w/Bronson Strickland and Steve Demarais of Mississippi State University

Steve Demarais and Bronson Strickland are professors at Mississippi State University. There, a team of faculty and graduate students make up the MSU Deer Ecology and Management Lab. Through many research projects Steve and Bronson have learned a ton about whitetail deer and their behaviors. In this episode, Aaron and I were able to have a long conversation with Steve and Bronson about some of the things that have learned that will help all of us as hunters and land managers. You may be surprised at some of the things that they have learned about the whitetail deer in decades of researching them!

Topics Include: 

-where bucks go to avoid hunting pressure

-why nocturnal bucks are a myth

-how to manage property to hold more deer
