Podcasts about deer management

The annual deer harvest at Short Hills Provincial Park is a traditional Haudenosaunee practice that manages the overpopulation of deer, protects the ecosystem, and honors Indigenous cultural traditions and Treaty Rights. Since it began in 2023 it has faced both support and controversy. Field producer Jeyan Jeganathan explores how this harvest helps manage the park's deer population and preserves Indigenous customs.

In this episode of the FOXPRO Podcast, Jon Collins sits down with Joey Wirth from Close Encounter Predator Hunts and discusses hunting crop country.

In this episode, Stephanie Boyles-Griffin, Jessica Tegt, Steve Demarais, and Bronson Strickland discuss the complexities of urban deer management, exploring the challenges posed by growing deer populations in urban areas. While recreational hunting remains the most effective and practical tool for population control in most settings, an increasing number of circumstances—especially in urban and suburban areas—render it unfeasible. Stephanie and Jessica, both from the Botstiber Institute, outline non-lethal and alternative methods commonly used to manage deer in these environments and walk through the series of decisions required to evaluate which techniques are appropriate and how likely they are to succeed.  Below, Stephanie and Jessica have provided resources if you are interested in learning more.

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale has a very interesting discussion with Brian Wakeling, Game Management Bureau Chief for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Rigger received emails from a whole lot of you wanting more information about the new Mule Deer Management Plan that Brian and his staff are working on right now. Mule Deer are a VERY popular species to hunt here in Montana and a great deal of hunters and outdoor folks in general have been concerned about the decline in Mule Deer populations in many hunting districts across the state. Thus, one of the main reasons for the FWP developing a new management plan. So, what is a management plan anyway? Who decides what goes into the plan? What are the main issues facing Montana's Mule Deer? Is it just Chronic Wasting Disease or are there other issues that are causing population declines? Recently Brian and his staff conducted a series of public workshops across Montana to get input from folks across the state. Mainly they wanted to hear ideas and what folks would like to see in the New Management plan. So how did the workshops go? Those and many other questions will be answered when you listen to this fascinating podcast. So, what are you waiting for click that play button and give this week's podcast a listen!

Send us a textDeer management extends far beyond the lush green food plots that dominate hunting magazines and outdoor television. With expert guest Tom Byers, we explore the comprehensive approach to whitetail habitat improvement that will transform how you manage your hunting property.Tom shares his extensive background in deer nutrition and property management, developed through years of professional experience with deer farming and collaboration with leading whitetail biologists. He reveals why your prime food plot location might not be where you think - those convenient logging landings and clearings often lack the vital topsoil needed for productive plantings. We discuss the critical importance of soil testing, proper pH management, and why "lime first, then fertilize" should be every food plotter's mantra.Perhaps most surprising to many hunters is Tom's revelation about forest management. A properly timed winter timber harvest that allows for spring stump sprouts can provide equivalent nutrition to a cultivated food plot - with significantly less cost and labor. We explore the strategic placement of nutritional plots versus kill plots, optimal plot designs that force deer movement, and how three-dimensional electric fencing can protect smaller plots until hunting season.With summer planting season approaching, this episode delivers actionable insights whether you're managing hundreds of acres or just a small parcel. From soil selection to plot protection, we cover the fundamentals that will maximize your property's deer-holding potential while avoiding common and costly mistakes. The chainsaw might just be your deer herd's best friend after all!Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

Is Ireland ready to tackle its growing deer management challenges? How will the new national deer management programme impact hunters, landowners, and conservation efforts? What role do thermal imaging technologies play in modern wildlife management? In this milestone 200th episode of Conservation and Science, we welcome back Ashley Glover, a conservationist, master huntsman, and long-time friend of the podcast. Recording from Wicklow Wolf Brewery, we celebrate this special occasion by diving into the significant changes coming to Irish deer management. From there, we discuss many more Irish conservation and nature restoration-related topics.Ashley shares valuable insights on the recently introduced national deer management strategy, including the establishment of 15 deer management units across Ireland. We explore the complexities surrounding implementation, from landowner engagement to data collection methods and hunter integration. The conversation highlights ongoing policy conflicts, such as how to manage deer on state lands, and addresses critical issues like deer-vehicle collisions and the humane dispatch programme. Ashley explains how thermal imaging has revolutionised deer counting and tracking, making wildlife management more effective and evidence-based.Beyond deer, we discuss other pressing conservation matters in Ireland, including invasive American mink control and the challenges of predator management for protecting ground-nesting birds. Ashley offers valuable perspectives on balancing conservation needs with hunting traditions and the importance of mentoring new hunters. In our conversation, we examine Ireland's conservation landscape, highlighting both the progress made and the significant work still needed to address policy conflicts in biodiversity management, peatland restoration, and sustainable land use.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookMentioned in this episode:DisclaimerThe views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organisation.

Thomas MLsna is one of the most thoughtful people I have met in the hunting community. He constantly hones his process for not only how he approaches hunting giant whitetail bucks, but he also is constantly tweaking how he manages whitetail hunting properties for himself and his clients to maximize the amount of ecological benefit for his local ecosystems. As a result of his holistic approach he has had incredible success on his own hunting properties, and he has helped transform many of his clients' farms to some of healthiest ecosystems in their regions.    Other topics we discuss: -Do trail cameras give off high frequency noise that spook deer? -What is "halfitat" -Planting invasive species for better hunting opportunities -Management chores you can do right now   Order Cat Trax Climbing Sticks   Follow Thomas: @the_untamed_ambition and @whitetail_ambition Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter Facebook: @first.gen.hunter Follow Alex: @east2westhunts_alex  Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts Follow Caleb: @calebleedrake  Follow Noel: @noelgandy   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners:   East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase Old Barn Taxidermy Tell Them The First Gen Hunter Podcast Sent You!

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are in our series on land and food strategies - how to best setup your land for whitetail success. In this episode I'm with Kevin Vistisen of the deer hunter podcast for part 2 of our talk - part one is on his podcast (# 359 at the deer hunter podcast https://deerhunterpodcast.libsyn.com/359-the-next-generation-of-whitetail-management ) and we're looking at the macro view of land - potential solutions to deer management issues affecting many states, specifically using the example of Michigan. This is an important talk about land and our use of it that applies to virtually any state on the management level.  And there's a glitchy part of Kevin's audio because he lives in the boonies, so beware of that about 12 minutes in - I think you'll figure it out, you guys are a smart audience.  Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What does Kevin say the general fix is for hunters taking back control of our natural resources - which have been overtaken by bureaucracy and anti-hunters? • What does Kevin say about the nature of social media in the hunting space and what we need to be very careful about when using it? • What is Kevin's experience on APR's and what are his thoughts on their ability to change a deer herd?• What do I think is the true root issue in states like Michigan, and the true fix that we need to make deer hunting great again?• What are some potential private access solutions for areas that are off-limits for most hunters due to leases and lack of hunting permission.And much more!Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: Deer Science Deep DiveEpisode # 85Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Kevin VistisenIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate) SHOW LINKS: • PART 1 of podcast - Deer Management for the Next Generation pt. 1:  https://deerhunterpodcast.libsyn.com/359-the-next-generation-of-whitetail-management• Deer IQ Free Test HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/ • Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Land Management STARTER KIT HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-management-starter-kit/ • Kevin's Links - DH3 Scents:  https://dhthree.com/   DEER IQ Services:  • The PAID Deer IQ Aptitude TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/  • For interest in a our Advanced Whitetail Workshop: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/  • Other Services - land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/    More from DEER IQ:  Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/

On Thursday, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources passed a new deer management plan, which will inform hunting regulations until 2030. One major change approved in the plan involves how the state will manage areas with high numbers of chronic wasting disease, such as the La Sal Mountains and Castle Valley. Targeted hunts will occur in these areas to cull sick deer. - Photo: The new plan also suggests lowering the buck-to-doe ratios is certain areas throughout the state as another method for slowing the spread of chronic wasting disease as male deer are more like to contract it.

In this episode of the Built To Hunt Podcast, we dive deep into Utah's deer management strategy with special guest Dax Mangus, a key member and local biologist of Utah's deer management committee. As Utah battles with declining deer populations, factors like habitat improvement, hunting regulations, and public opinion shape the current management plan. Dax sheds light on the 100,000-acre+ habitat restoration initiative, the impact of energy development on deer populations, and the vital role GPS collar studies play in tracking deer health and behavior. We also discuss the importance of balancing a healthy buck-to-doe ratio, changes to weapon allocation, and the unique four-point restriction system in Pine Valley. How does Utah's approach compare to other states, and are these measures enough to ensure a sustainable deer population? Dax shares insights on how public surveys influence season structures and the challenges in shifting season dates. Join us as we explore the complex intersection of conservation, hunting satisfaction, and policy in Utah's deer management efforts.   Host: Austin Atkinson Co-Host: Deziree Lambert Interviewing: Dax Mangus Episode Photo Credit: 30 Wide Photography https://www.instagram.com/30widephotography/   Podcast Partners: Western Hunt Expo: https://huntexpo.com/ GEAR FOOL: https://www.gearfool.com/ Use Code BUILTTOHUNT for 10% OFF in Our GEAR FOOL Store Today!   Get Connected: Subscribe to HUNTIN' FOOL on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@huntinfool_official Become a HUNTIN' FOOL Member here: https://www.huntinfool.com/join Download The HUNTIN' FOOL App: https://www.huntinfool.com/app   Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: /huntinfoolofficial Instagram:  /huntinfool_official/

In this episode, Dr. Mark Turner discusses his research on the nutrient requirements of deer and the availability of native plants to fulfill those requirements. He sampled common deer forages throughout the Eastern US and found that only 44% of the forages sampled met the minimum crude protein requirement, and only 19% met the minimum phosphorus requirement. This highlights the importance of providing a diverse range of forage options for deer. Mark also emphasizes the need to consider both the amount and quality of forage when estimating nutritional carrying capacity. He suggests that landowners consider incorporating native plants into their management strategies and diversify their food plots to provide a more balanced diet for deer.  And Steve may have rambled a little too.

Deer management has been a topic of conversation in the hunting community for a long time. For some it may be more feasible than others. You may have ground that is connected over a certain amount of acres that may produce great bucks. You have tried to manage the ground by adding food plots, feeding your deer, and passing bucks to let them get to maturity. The real question though is, is deer management worth it? On this episode of the Raised Hunting Podcast we look to answer that question. We break down some of the pros and cons of deer management, look to find a difference between deer management and land management, and also look at how managing deer can affect hunting for an individual as a whole and if it takes away from the hunt itself.

Beau Martonik is joined by Nick Pinizzotto, CEO of the National Deer Association.
