Summary

Hey guys! This is Jaden Bales from the Rich Outdoors. 2020 is the “Year of the Deer” for me, so you can expect a bit more coming from me in the future as I document how I’m trying to take my deer hunting skills to the next level this year. I wanted to kick off the Year of the Deer by getting biologists on from different states to better understand how mule deer are managed across the west. The hope is this can help me, and the rest of the listeners, better understand harvest states, mule deer populations, and hopefully make the right application choices this spring.

To kick off the series, I wanted to have on my good friend from Wyoming, Lee Knox. Lee and I became close when I lived down in Laramie and often times would ourselves deep in conversations about some of the data he’s gathering regarding mule deer age classes, antler sizes, the research that’s out about CWD, and much more. Without making too bold of claims, he does a good job at pointing to the best information managers in Wyoming have available that’s helped them make their management decisions. Importantly, he also covers how mule deer are managed in the public trust and how public input plays an important role in how seasons, and ultimately deer are managed in various regions around Wyoming.

0:18.9	hunting adventures. For more about us including additional resources on our, and links to everything we cover in the interview,

0:45.6	Rich you'll probably hear my voice on the podcast quite a bit in the next year
0:50.5	or so 20-20 is the year for me. So I'm going to be doing some research with
0:56.8	guys here on the podcast and trying to figure out where I want to hunt this next
1:01.4	year as well as kind of going over tips and tactics as to how to have kind of that 201 level mule deer season.
1:10.0	As we mentioned in some previous podcast my goal this year is two bucks one in Montana
1:16.9	one in a different state and a total of 300 inches of antler, so 150 inch average bucks.
1:24.0	So that, we kind of just threw that out as a guideline
1:28.8	so that we could maybe call it a 201 meal deer season. But really what we're just going after here is to have
1:35.7	I'm going to have a fun season chase a meal there next year and to kind of get that
1:40.7	started I'm doing a lot of research on different states.
1:44.7	As some of you may know, I moved up from Wyoming this last year to Montana, so I'm starting
1:49.6	fresh all over again.
1:51.7	So to kind of kick things off I wanted to do a bunch of research
1:55.7	with different biologists from different states and we're going to try to get some
1:59.2	different guys on here to talk about not only what the Meelder population is like, but go into some detail about
2:08.7	how Meeldair managed in these different Western states. And to kick things off today, I've got my buddy Lee Knox on from the Wyoming fishing game.
2:17.0	Lee, thanks for hopping on this morning, man. It's pretty early.
2:20.0	I've got my coffee how you doing good yeah appreciate you having me yeah
