Show Notes
In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Andrew Little (University of Nebraska) to break down a study on what actually affects buck antler size, and IF land managers can actually grow bigger bucks.
If you manage a property, lease, or are looking to buy - this is a good talk on what you can do, and exactly what to look for. We answer:
• How much does location matter?
• What role does nutrition and habitat improvement play?
• What can you expect on your land with the right changes?
• How to determine the potential of your bucks - have you reached the ceiling, or is there still room?
All that and more!
