Ep 068: SE Deer Study Group 2019 Recap w/ Lindsay Thomas Jr. of the Quality Deer Management Association

Lindsay Thomas Jr., Editor of Quality Whitetails, is back for our third annual Southeast Deer Study Group recap. We cover a wide variety of topics including mature buck movements, CWD, coyote predation, and the effects of a late rut.
