As state agencies target bans on commercial urine and attractants, Jason engages in conversation with one of the nations leading biochemists, Dr. Davin Henderson, on the fact that the real science lacks a single case where deer were infected with CWD by giving them urine. Although A recent Pennsylvania Game Commission vote on a urine ban died on the vine with a 4-4 tie, Commissioners promise to keep trying. We ask: Where's the science to support your claims? 

Jason talks in depth with Dr. David Montgomery about the relationship between soil health and food plot nutrient density. Listen as Jason and Dave entertain the underappreciated topic of food plot quantity vs. quality. Are we spending too much time worrying about what (and how much tonnage) we plant for deer while ignoring HOW we're growing our food plots? Soil health = nutrient density = healthy white-tailed deer.

Jason talks with Dr. Bronson Strickland and Dr. Rick Haney about why his alma mater, Mississippi State University, should study the impact of of soil health & conservation agriculture on food plot forage nutrient density, soil organic matter, crop nutritional profile, vitamin/mineral content and phytochemical richness. Is this the beginning of something HUGE?

CWD.  Jason talks with world-renowned CWD expert & wildlife veterinarian, Dr. Michael Miller about the early days of CWD in Colorado and Wyoming as part 1 of the Drop-Tine CWD Intensive Recordings BEGIN!

Ever wonder about the anatomy and physiology of good and bad shots? How long should you wait after all of the different types of hits and what determines whether you find your trophy at the end of a blood trail or you're forced to eat tag soup?

Jason and Dr. Jon Jenks discuss research that exposes the toxicity of neonicotinoid seed treatments to whitetails and other game species. 

Neonicotinoid seed treatments can set back progress on regenerative properties with negative, cascading effects on beneficial insects.  Equally alarming, Neonics are proving detrimental to the health of our game species. This episode provides some background information for the episode to follow.

Following extreme interest in the first episode of Field Reports, Jason records a call with Pennsylvania food plotter Dan Very.  Dan's questions stem from content promoted on social media platforms about splitting food plots in half and preceeding fall plots with monoculture buckwheat.  Is this as good as it gets?
