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. ---------------- Check out the new Wired to Hunt vintage hat! https://store.themeateater.com/products/vintage-whitetail-wired-to-hunt-edition-hat?variant=42045719314530 Check out the gear the MeatEater Crew uses in the field here: https://store.themeateater.com Follow us: Web: https://www.themeateater.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/meateater Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StevenRinellaMeatEater
