Episode 15 - Deer University: Timing of Prescribed Fire Impacts Deer Forage Quality and Selection?
January 05, 2021 13:01 - 1 hour - 58 MBMost hunters and managers are aware of the benefits of prescribed fire on deer habitat. Fire can be used to set back plant succession (reduce the woody vegetation) and stimulate the growth of forbs (increase the herbaceous vegetation). In the Southeastern US, deer nutrition is often limited during the summer when bucks are growing antlers and does are producing fawns and lactating. Often limitations in summer nutrition is addressed with warm-season food plots, but what about addressing this...

#06 | Deer University: When are deer attracted to acorns? ft. Moriah Boggess
December 08, 2020 13:00 - 55 minutes - 39.6 MBJust when are deer most attracted to acorns? You might think - all the time! And hey, you may be right. In this episode with former MSU Deer Lab graduate student Moriah Boggess, we review his research where he monitored deer acorn use throughout the year and see that deer can be attracted to acorns much later in the year than you might expect. This can have important implications when hunting during the post rut.
