Wild Deer Culling Research pt.2 - The Comanche Ranch Study

We're picking up where our last episode left off on the topic of deer culling for genetic improvement. Donnie Draeger is joining us to discuss the iconic Comanche Ranch high-fence culling study that went to even greater extremes to test whether deer herd population genetics can be improved. He and Bronson discuss the logistics of conducting a study of this scale, the results, and what contributed to the challenges they face in improving genetic quality of bucks. You can read more on the the actual study here: https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/wmon.70013 Send us Fan Mail
