Mississippi State University Extension Office Study
A recent study from the MSU Extension Office debunks the genetic myths surrounding deer growth*. Follow the link to read the detailed study.
Role of Nutrition in Antler Development
In this study biologists collected a group of buck fawns from throughout the state of Texas. For 4 years one group was fed a low protein diet of 8% the other was fed a high protein diet of 16%. Follow the link to read the results of the study.*
Quality Deer Management Works. Culling Doesn’t.
Donnie Draeger used to believe in culling deer to improve antler genetics. Over his career as the wildlife biologist at the Comanche Ranch in southwest Texas, he’d spent a lot of time and the ranch’s money on such efforts. Then the results of a years-long scientific culling study at the ranch started to become available. Donnie no longer recommends culling on the Comanche Ranch, and he urges all deer hunters to stop culling as well. Follow the link to learn why culling doesn’t work.*
