  Ep 22 - Can culling give you bigger bucks?

  Dec 23, 20251h 7mS1

  <p>Should you harvest bucks with smaller antlers to get their genes out of the population, leaving more big bucks in the woods to pass on their trophy racks? Probably not. In this episode, we explore models led by scientists at Mississippi State University that evaluate how selectively culling deer herds can influence antler growth based on the number of points and overall antler size. We discuss two models from the paper that predicted generational changes in antlers for simulated deer in a captive, controlled breeding population and those in a free-range environment that most hunters would experience hunting public...

  Ep 21 - How do deer use scrapes?

  Dec 4, 20251h 21mS1

  <p>In this episode, we dive into whitetail deer scrape networks to learn how individual deer use scrapes during fall. We look at results from a manuscript out of Tougaloo University that used trail cams on a bunch of fresh scrapes to see which deer came by and how often. Turns out not all deer interact with scrapes the same way and time of day and within the season can change whether that big buck is going to stop by. Join us to find out how deer communicate through their scrapes and learn how you can use scrapes to help...

  Ep 20 - What drives elk habitat selection?

  Oct 7, 20251h 11mS1

  <p>There are lots of factors that influence where elk, deer, and other animals decide to spend their time. In this week's episode, we dive into research from Colorado led by researcher Storm Crews that tracked movements of over 400 elk from four elk herds in the Rocky Mountain state. The researchers determined if individual elk had resident or migratory movement strategies and from there, looked at how resource selection varied based on season, herd, and movement strategy. No surprise, all elk tend to avoid areas associated with development, but selection for other habitat characteristics differed, especially among elk herds. So...

  Ep 19 - How do elk respond to hunters?

  Sep 5, 20251h 8mS1

  <p>Have you ever wondered how elk or other big game change their distribution when facing hunter pressure? Do they respond to different hunters differently whether it's archery or rifle season? What if elk aren't targeted but other hunters are in the area? This week, we dive into research by Joshua Smith and his colleagues out of Oregon to answer these questions. In this study, bull elk are tracked during various hunting seasons and the researchers looked at how they changed the amount they move around, the habitat that they select, and their distribution on the landscape. Check it out...

  Ep 18 - Elk responses to trail-based recreation

  Aug 21, 20251h 14mS1

  <p>This week we are excited to have Brittney Parker from BHA join us to talk about the ways recreationists impact wildlife in the outdoors. Britt has spent a lot of time thinking about this topic and wrote up a great article on it that you can find at this link. As the human population grows and more people access public lands, recreational trails will see more use and become more present on the natural landscape. But what does that mean for the wildlife that depend on those places? We dive into a study by Michael Wisdom and colleagues that...
