In this episode of the Deer Season 365 Podcast, we're talking with deer biologist Moriah Boggess about how he consistently finds success killing mature bucks on public land by focusing his efforts on acorns. We dive into why it's important to know the different oak species in your area, how to differentiate white oaks and red oaks, and how to key in on the oak trees that provide your best odds of filling a tag this season. These tips can help you find success throughout the season, not just the early season. If you're an avid deer hunter, especially in big woods country, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Does Culling Bucks Improve Antler Quality? A 13-Year Test With Donnie Draeger
Wednesday Aug 25, 2021
Wednesday Aug 25, 2021
In this episode of the Deer Season 365 Podcast, Brian talks with Donnie Draeger, a wildlife biologist at the Comanche Ranch in Texas, about an intensive 13-year research project Donnie was involved in focused on whether culling can improve the overall quality and genetics of a free-ranging deer herd. The research, combined with DNA analysis of the deer, provided some very interesting results that should put an end to any notion that you can improve the genetics of a wild, free-ranging deer herd with a trigger pull.
