Deer IQ

The Science of Buck Societies w/ John Ozoga | Series: Mature Buck Mindsets; IQ-10


Listen Later

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast I’m joined by a legend in the field of deer research, John Ozoga. You’ve probably read his articles on whitetail science in major magazines, and we discuss his research of buck behavior, and the science of what he calls “buck societies”. Now, John is in his late 80’s and joined me by phone, and I”m pretty sure has never done a podcast. So look at this episode as if you're sitting by the fire with grandpa there and he’s doing most the talking, .. and you’re just soaking it up. Here are the top things to look for during this episode:

• What and where is John’s research background on whitetail deer - an important distinction to make when comparing to your area?
• Why does he say bucks and does are like dealing with 2 different species when talking about deer behavior?
• How does a young deer join a buck society, and what does that phrase mean?
• How do young bucks behave in the absence of mature bucks, and what might this tell us about the deer age structure where this is observed? 
• What does John say about mature buck behavior in low vs. high deer density areas, and just how to hunt those differently?
• And What is early season buck sign a good indication of? And much more!
