Summary

We went to Mississippi State University to talk with our friend Dr. Bronson Strickland about some recent research around weather patterns and deer movement times! MSU used GPS collars to track wild deer in Mississippi, then took the data and used it to study how weather patterns affect deer movement. This is a very fascinating episode that you won't want to miss! Check out Wildlife Investments here - https://2ly.link/27tCQ Got a question for the show?

the highest percentage of betting we would ever get, like if we looked at any given time,

0:06.0

what percentage of the bucks are bedded, the highest we would ever get is 50%.

0:10.0

At any given time, if you just look across the whole range, are you betted or not,

0:14.0

and you calculate that percentage, you never will get above 50%.

0:19.0

Doesn't matter if it's noon, midnight, whatever.

0:21.6

I think you can be more strategic about going in with your afternoon

0:25.8

because there is less likelihood you're going to bump a deer

0:29.6

if you go set up at 1 p.m.

0:32.3

versus going in in the middle of the morning movement bout

0:35.4

is when you're going in the morning. Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Southern Outdoors of a podcast.

We are back in beautiful Starkville, Mississippi talking to one of our favorite people to have on the podcast, Mr. Bronson-Strickland. Dr. Bronson-Strickland. How are you? I'm doing wonderful. Good to see you guys. Yeah, I'm glad to be here. The second time back in this room, got a little more decor now. I think you maybe had just moved into this office before. And last time we had you on, we talked a lot about GPS studies. And you had some stuff

1:40.9

how are you? I'm doing well. I'm very excited to be here. Bronson, to kick us off, I want to talk a little bit about the weather aspect of it, but before we do,

1:48.2

can you explain the details of the study, how many bucks were called during the study, the time frame,

1:53.8

and originally what you're looking for, but how you're kind of teasing out a lot more of this data as time goes on. Yeah, absolutely. So first and foremost, credit to our state

2:02.3

wildlife agency, MDWF&P. This was a project that they were behind. And essentially, the very

2:09.0

simple question was something all hunters wonder is, where did the bucks go? And so they were just

2:16.1

getting a lot of feedback, of course, you know,

2:18.9

from the hunting community over the year. So we decided, let's call her a bunch of bucks,
