Ep. 1027: What 100+ Farms Taught Us About Big Bucks
About this episode
The episode explores insights from over 100 farms regarding deer behavior and hunting strategies.
What can 100+ farms teach us about big bucks? To answer it, Jake is joined by Jack Huston with Midwest Deer Surveys, who has flown hundreds of properties with thermal drones and seen exactly where deer are - and more importantly, where they aren’t. From density rings and social stress to bedding, pressure, and why “thicker” farms consistently produce, this episode challenges a lot of conventional thinking. We also get into how doe harvest impacts herds over time, what role genetics actually play, and why many hunters don’t struggle killing deer.
