In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Andrew Little (University of Nebraska) to break down GPS-collared buck data that reveals how much hunting pressure deer will tolerate before their behavior changes.

Using real movement data, we explore how many hunters per acre actually creates pressure, how quickly bucks respond once that line is crossed, and why most deer don’t leave — they simply avoid hunters.

If you manage a property, share a lease, or hunt pressured ground, this episode answers the critical questions:
• How many hunters can your land realistically support?
• When does good hunting start to decline — and why?
• What is the true pressure threshold, and how do you stay below it all season?

This episode defines hunting pressure in measurable terms and gives you practical ways to manage it so your land hunts better and stays fresh longer.

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are joined by Clint McCoy - researcher and wildlife biologist who tested and has the data to prove just how fast hunting pressure actually makes bucks disappear and avoid your stand locations.

So if you see deer movement decrease during the season, experience stand burnout, or wonder why bucks go nocturnal, or just are curious about what the data actually shows,  I think this will be an eye opener for you. And we discuss what he thinks you should do about this problem.

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we wrap up our series on public land hunting details that make the difference, looking at some very practical access strategies. We talk about:
•  if you should consider the now popular tactic of using a boat for access - and exactly when this works and when it doesn't
• the truth about swamp access for finding big bucks
• out of state short vs. long trips- the psychology and mindsets that lead to more success
• pre-scouting vs. going in blind and hunting - which is better and why
• and a major trap most new public land hunters fall into you definitely want to avoid.

So If you are new to public land hunting, or struggle with access or dialing in good spots, this is an episode for you.

In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast we tackle the subject of the moon - does moon phase, or position, really cause bucks to move and potentially give hunters an edge? We talk to several high profile hunters (John Eberhart and Adam Hays III) to see their thoughts and why they hold these positions, and look at a recent collared buck study with Dr. Bronson Strickland to break down the real data - beyond the bias and BS, and reveal what the numbers actually say. And I give my take at the end - if you should really be paying attention to the moon when trying to take a big whitetail buck!
