In this episode, Mark and Curtis are joined by Chad Stewart, a biologist in the deer program for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division. The crew discusses the evolution and spread of white-tailed deer in North America, why these deer are so successful, and whether their expansion is due to humans or not. Chad talks about white-tailed deer biology, ecology, population monitoring, and different approaches for managing white-tail populations and hunting seasons. Other topics the group digs into include, white-tailed deer reproduction, chronic wasting disease, antler restrictions, antlerless deer hunting, myths, hunting traditions, the future of white-tailed deer, half marathons, managing deer wearing bulletproof vests, 66% support and mind-blowing deer facts.
