A Deep Dive Into Southern Deer Harvest Data With Kip Adams of the National Deer Association
This week we're talking with Kip Adams, a wildlife biologist and the Chief Conservation Officer for the National Deer Association. Kip shares a lot of great data from NDA's newly released 2022 Deer Report and what it means for the future of white-tailed deer and deer hunting. We look specifically at southern deer harvest statistics and get into some surprising data highlighting how southern deer hunters shoot fewer yearling bucks and more 3.5 year old and older bucks than hunters in any other region.
