The deer research program at Mississippi State University began with the arrival of Dr. Dave Guynn and Dr. Harry Jacobson in the mid-1970s. The synergism between these two young research biologists spawned many unique projects that generated national attention. Guynn left for other employment, and Dr. Jacobson expanded the breadth of deer research projects over a storied 20-year fulltime career, followed by continued interaction as Professor Emeritus.
Collectively, and working with numerous graduate students, cooperating agencies, foundations, and landowners, our current faculty have established the Deer Ecology and Management Lab at Mississippi State University as one of the premier deer management research units in the United States.

Просмотров 1 тыс.20 дней назад
In this third episode with Dr. Mark Turner, we discuss Mark's research exploring the factors that contribute to the variation in population-level buck antler size. He explains that deer tend to be larger in areas further north due to heat retention and dissipation. He also highlights the importance of landscape characteristics, such as row crop agriculture, in influencing deer size. Additionall...
Deer University Episode 079 - Estimating nutrient requirements for deer
Просмотров 72226 дней назад
In this episode, Dr. Mark Turner discusses his research on the nutrient requirements of deer and the availability of native plants to fulfill those requirements. He sampled common deer forages throughout the Eastern US and found that only 44% of the forages sampled met the minimum crude protein requirement, and only 19% met the minimum phosphorus requirement. This highlights the importance of p...

In this episode we visit with Dr. Natasha Ellison to review her findings relative to buck use of food plots during the hunting season. How often are they visiting food plots pre-rut, peak-rut, and post-rut? When are bucks spending more time on food plots? How does hunting pressure affect these relationships? Natasha is a Mathematical Ecologist and is helping us dig deeper in the buck movement d...
How do you keep ticks off their antlers and body?
lost my big mature mast producing white oaks in a hurricane.. mostly only have water and willow oak now. I am thinning to select for more desirable species so brushing up on ID
Could you list a printable analysis of what you believe a deer needs for maximum nutrition and talk about fighting the parasites the deer are carrying? Thanks for all your work and making it available to us deer lovers.

So it is possible for CJ Alexander buck to travel 9.5 miles to CJs property? Hmmmm. He should get y'all to testify for him.....
I good way to show the daytime and nighttime movement would be to show the same buck movement video while darkening and lightening the map to simulate day and night. Great youtube channel and podcast, Thanks!

I think it’s mostly genetics. Kudzu is one of the best deer plants on the planet. It’s not even close to one of the worst weeds either. Japanese stilt grass is 10x worse but kudzu is treated like it’s cancer.
Great episode, thank you for sharing your knowledge Bronson and Marcus. I've also found great deer foraging on resprouts on maples that I cut in winter. Might you get the same benefits and a longer survival of the mineral stumps if cut during winter? It seems like it would stress the tree less and encourage an equal if not more vigorous re-sprouting response.
In addition to showing average, why don’t you emphasize median which statistically could be more important than average to help weed out the extreme events that can help increase or lower averages?
Gentle suggestion for your consideration. Bronson please scale back the teasing on what you refer to as Steve rambling, it’s coming across as a bit unprofessional. I have valued his contributions to all the discussions, if you have an issue maybe take it up offline.
Seems like there should be a deer density factor included. Pounds of forage per acre per some density of deer. There has to be some point of diminishing returns above a certain amount of forage. If they are not eating the clover and beans to the ground, and they are capable of eating more, what is stopping them from eating more??
Agriculture is a correlation not causation. The north typically has better nutrients in the soil due to glacial till from the ice age. River bottoms in the south also has good soil from the soil deposited from erosion from the north. Land use is a product of the nutrients in the soil. Over hundreds of years, high nutrient soil has been converted to ag and low nutrient soil has been left alone to grow native plants or converted to pine plantations.
In a 1975 book entitled Whitetail Deer author Stadtfeld is deer in the UP Michigan needed to be taller to reach higher in the canopy during the winter deep snow covering available ground cover browse to survive. You southerners don't know anything about snow! Hahaha!
I heard the point not to shoot the best 3.5 year old bucks, along with that not to shoot the largest does as per a point made of larger does correlates with larger antlers in this video.
I don’t want to be anywhere near an ag field, the farmers in NW FL get unlimited depredation deer tags. All the deer I have on my property will visit an ag field eventually , so when the farmers can kill deer 24/7, there is no way I’m getting a buck to 4&1/2.
Depends on where your at. I hunt farms in Eastern Ohio that has big deer on them and they have depredation tags. Plenty of cover here though.
Did you analyze or do you have any data on genetics being the largest effect on antler size? I'm in the upper Midwest with lots of ag and very good early successional growth. It seems like genetics are the overwhelming reason for a buck's antler size. We have mature bucks with 125-130" and mature bucks with 160"+. They are eating the same thing.

Used this formula with my sprayer on a 60 acre field and it was right on! Thanks
Wonderful! Glad we could help.
I used cotton and pellets and it’s been 3 years and my deer have change completely from 120 to 160 I’m very happy now my 3 year old are 120 glad I waited and I don’t think I will stop
The research clearly shows that if nutrition is limited, boosting diet quality (whether it be from habitat management, addition of food plots, or supplemental feeding) will result in larger bodies and larger antlers.
Ramblin Wreck from Georgia Tech .
I didn't think of that one. I'll remember that!
My soil tested at 6.5-6.8 ph in south Louisiana. I'm not sure what to plant. Any suggestions?
That's about as good of a pH as you can expect. You should have no limitations (relative to pH) with anything you plant. You to our website and download the food plot publication.
Did you visit these bed sites?
Area I should clarify
For this research we did not. We did this entirely by examining their locations and classifying them as bedding if we got 4 consecutive locations in the same spot. But in previous research we did go to bed sites and measured vegetation.
Appreciate you guys!😊
Great insight
I wonder about info when a statement is thrown out there with no background info or references stated. This video didn't really help and only cause more questions... Grade C-
This was meant to be a very simple video to reach a broad audience. I believe we referenced the advice provided by the CDC and their recommendation of avoiding the consumption of eating CWD positive venison.
prions can infect meat of a dead deer? So can it be washed off or does it bore into it? Any follow up info on that concept?
Gesundheit!
Thank you for sharing all this research, it's extremely valuable to bowhunters like myself.
Our pleasure! Glad to hear you find it useful.
He needs some Benadryl.
Ha! He sure does.
Im watching two grow right that hang around
Magnificent!
Beautiful
Totally agree, channel is extremely underrated. They offer a boatload of information every single time. Scientific to a point, but informational all the same. I for one absorb myself with everything they put out. I might not always agree with them, but I always come away, listening to their podcasts/vid, and knowing more than I did.😮😉. Thanks guys, I know there is a boatload of people that appreciate you's!!!🧐😉😏
We really appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching/listening. And hey, that's okay, we might not agree on everything, but thanks for hearing us out.
Gentlemen and scholars. I always enjoy y'all's educational videos. Im 52 years old and been hunting all my life but y'all always teach me something new. I wish y'all all the happiness and success that life can bring. God bless.
We are thankful for the kind words and glad you find the information useful. We will continue to provide this type of information here.
This channel is very underrated
Yes it is very underated, jam packed with knowledge on whitetails! There collar data has debunked multiple myths!
more does in rutting area???
Even though my clover looks gone in July August, I can expect it to come back in Sept - Dec?
It would depend on the type of clover. If it's a white clover, you should see it rebound after some summer dormancy. If it was an annual clover, like crimson, it may come back from seed.
My food plots are in Weyerhaeuser leases, so there are a lot of pines. My clover fields die every year in the Mississippi droughts. I plant in the logging staging fields so every 10-15 years they get wiped out and I have to start over. The soil is destroyed in my plots from the scraping and leveling they do, plus leaving tons of bark and chips. It takes a lot of inputs to get it back. In the first years, would you suggest Crimson before I go back to Ladino? I’ve also use Marco Polo is a lot of success. Persian gets crowded out easily but the deer do love that stuff. My plots are in Calhoun County and Webster county.
All those clovers are good choices. We have found that in soils that tend to stay wet, and has a lower pH, Balansa clover works really well.
I plant ladino every year. Our Mississippi drought wipes it out. I pour the the lime to it annually and I keep my PH consistently above 6.
Are you sure the Ladino clover is dying? Or just going dormant in the summer heat and drougt?
Great info Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
That look painful
Wow 🙂
Do you guys have an estimate on what percentage of mature bucks in the area you collared. Just trying to picture the actual density.
We can't say what the age structure was for the non-collared bucks, but 33% of our collared bucks were mature (5.5+).
Great info. Do it for Dale 😂
When is the rut in the area of the bucks collared?
December
"If you can produce 120-inch does, your average mature male is gonna be 139 inches." you might want to edit your sound bite notes up top in description to "lbs" vs "inch" Thanks again fellas for awesome information and sharing this for FREE! Love the content
Thanks for the heads up. It's been corrected.
Interesting as always gentleman! Thank you😊
Glad to hear. Thanks!
Is the doe weight gross or dressed ?
good question, I was wondering same thing. I am assuming gross but assumptions ....
This is using gross female weight. Should have mentioned that and thanks for listening!
Live weight
Where did July go ?
Lol time flies
Thanks for all your help Natasha (sp?) and these gentlemen will get a firm talking to from their wives and daughters believe you..me..! 😆😉
