This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by Matt Ross from the National Deer Association, who brings nearly two decades of experience studying deer behavior, habitat, and management. Matt shares fascinating insights on how deer use multiple bedding areas throughout the season, how feeding habits and environmental factors influence their movement, and why understanding a deer’s “personality” can give hunters an edge. We also dive into the role hunting pressure plays on deer behavior, and how quickly they adapt and return to patterns once the pressure subsides.
With advances in technology like GPS collars, researchers now have a clearer picture of how deer truly move across the landscape — knowledge that can directly improve a hunter’s approach in the field. Matt and I also touch on the importance of public land initiatives for habitat improvement, why adaptability is key when hunting pressured deer, and how wind and thermals remain critical factors in success. Whether it’s taking calculated risks, shifting strategies, or simply learning more about deer as individuals, this episode is packed with takeaways to help you sharpen your approach this season.
So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up!
