This week we’re joined by MDWFP Deer Biologist Pierce Young to discuss the Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) that has over twenty states participating. What is the data showing? What data points need to be gathered and what can they tell us? Pierce explains how and why young doe weights are so important to understanding the herd health and what the science says you need to do to grow a 160 inch buck. This conversation is useful for anyone that’s trying to improve herd health and grow larger bucks. When does deer season really start???  Right now! Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
