Ohio's Whitetail Dilemma: Balancing Deer Populations and Hunter Participation with Mike Tonkovich
In this compelling episode of Chasing Your Experience, host Sean Smith welcomes Dr. Mike Tonkovich, the Deer Program Administrator for the Ohio Division of Wildlife, affectionately known as “Tonk.” With over 30 years of expertise in managing Ohio's wild deer herd, Dr. Tonkovich brings invaluable insights into the current state of whitetail deer in Ohio.
Join us as we dive into pressing issues facing the deer population, including the impacts of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). However, as Dr. Tonkovich points out, these diseases are merely distractions from the more significant threats: an exploding deer population paired with a decline in hunter numbers.
Tune in as we explore the Division of Wildlife’s urgent call to action for hunters to participate in harvesting more antlerless deer. The future of Ohio’s deer herd may very well hinge on these efforts. Whether you're an avid hunter, a wildlife enthusiast, or simply curious about the ecosystem, this episode is packed with crucial information and thought-provoking discussions. Don’t miss it!
