In this episode of the Deer Season 365 podcast, we're talking with Dr. Luke Macaulay, a wildlife management specialist with the University of Maryland, about his research on forage soybeans. And while the primary focus of Luke’s research is on determining which forage soybean varieties work best as a buffer to minimize deer damage to production soybeans, much of what he’s learned is applicable to us deer hunters and food plotters as well. Luke discusses his background, his soybean research, what he’s learned about some of the different varieties he’s testing, as well as how many days after a rain event you can expect to see the most deer activity in your bean plot!

This week we talk with a relatively new deer hunter, Augusto Zimmermann. Augusto is from Brazil and didn't grow up with a hunting background. After moving to Georgia after college, he stumbled on NDA's Field to Fork program and was able to quickly foster a passion for hunting and the outdoors.
Augusto shares the process and challenges of learning to deer hunt as an adult, what he learned from Field to Fork, his success in the field over the last three seasons, and how he's now giving back by becoming a mentor himself.

For decades feral hogs have been expanding their range, creating ecological havoc wherever they show up. Efforts to reduce or eradicate them from the landscape have been largely unsuccessful. However, there is one state that seems to be having some success in the war against feral hogs — Missouri. In this episode, we're talking with Alan Leary, the Wildlife Management Coordinator for the Missouri Department of Conservation who heads the state's efforts to eradicate feral hogs. Alan discusses where feral hogs came from, how they've spread, and what he's found that works and doesn't work to reduce feral hog numbers.
