Show Notes
On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Dr. Karl Miller of the University of Georgia to talk all about a whitetail deer’s senses. Through years of research and experience, he has learned a lot about how and why a whitetail deer does what it does. We discuss deer vision, sense of hearing and sense of smell. Through breaking these down, we bring up topics including if camouflage is really important, understanding what each of the glands do, rubber boots vs. leather boots, scent control and how you can use this information to become a better hunter.
