This conversation with Cody Schroeder from NDOW was a fun one, and really timely ahead of this week's application deadline. In this episode, we talk a whole lot about wildlife and mule deer management as a whole regarding habitat, surveying herds, and of course feral horses. Towards the back half, we dive in deep with the tradeoffs of mule deer management with low populations and high buck ratios.

Cody's a real good guy with awesome info, and a few dandy bucks he's killed the hard way. Hope you all enjoy!

Awesome, really glad to hear you're talking about the problem with feral horses. It's shocking how devastating they can be to a landscape, and its carrying capacity for deer. Looking forward to listening to the episode.

Enjoy! I'd love to hear your thoughts when he mentions with desert/low population herds and the mentality of "If I even see a deer, I want it to be a big one."

For sure! The sad reality is that it's a federal issue, and we dive into how listeners can make an impact - which is arguably a more substantive impact than anything on the state level.
