#155 Joe McDermott - Deer on the Move: GPS Collars, Rut Action, and Modern Gun Season


Listen Later

Modern Firearms Season kicks off this weekend, and deer hunting doesn’t get much better than this! 🦌 In this episode of the Kentucky Afield Podcast, we’re joined by Deer Program Coordinator Joe McDermott to talk about the latest deer research shaping management decisions across the Commonwealth — including a GPS collar study that’s shedding light on how deer move as the rut approaches. The results point to great conditions for hunters hitting the woods this weekend.
We also dive into the importance of harvesting does in areas with high deer numbers, how hunters play a key role in keeping herds healthy, and ways to get your harvested deer tested for CWD through our freezer drop-off sites and the Shoot for Samples program — where you could win a $500–$2,000 prize just for participating.
If you’re gearing up for Modern Gun Season, give this episode a listen.
