    In this episode, we take a deep dive into the 2022 paper titled "Behaviour of a large ungulate reflects temporal patterns of predation risk" by Kevyn Wiskirchen et al. In which, the scientists asked the questions: Does hunter pressure cause whitetail deer to change the way they move and when they move? Do does and bucks respond differently to hunting pressure? Do older mature bucks and does respond differently to hunting pressure? And does it matter which day of the week you choose to hunt?


    We discuss the potential implications of this data, and how it can be used to improve our hunting strategy; including moving in closer to bedding areas, choosing the best times and days to hunt, and hunting at night with a spotlight (just kidding!).
