Drop-Tine Podcast -The official deer management, food plot & habitat podcast

87 year-old Glyphosate researcher, plant pathologist, retired U.S. Army Col. and Emeritus Professor (Purdue Univ)., Dr. Don Huber has been shot at, stabbed and beaten to a pulp during his storied investigative career merely because of his long-time involvement in research on the impacts of Glyphosate (RoundUp) on plant nutrition, disease and health. Hits have been taken out on him by researchers and industry thugs who are in the tank (follow the $$$) with large multinational organizations and the makers of synthetic chemicals such as RoundUp. Jason proposes a broad spectrum of topics surrounding the Glyphosate/Roundup discourse including the science-based research that links Glyphosate, as a broad spectrum mineral chelator and gut/soil disrupting antibioic, to Chronic Wasting Disease in white-tailed deer.

Jason and "guest host-client-friend" Joe Switzer talk with Dr. Rick Haney about soil testing and all things soil health. The guys share their stories about why lime becomes unnecessary as the plant-microbe interaction mediates the soil pH in and around the root rhizoshpere. Oh, and Jason talks about propolis spray and Moscow mules!

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.
