Miscellaneous
On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, I’m joined by Duane Diefenbach of the U.S. Geological Survey. Duane leads the Penn State Deer-Forest Study which takes place in the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania on public land. We discuss radio collaring deer, the correlation between vegetation/deer, antler point restrictions, lessons learned from deer movement, timing of the rut, deer home ranges and much more.

Capturing and tracking deer - Correlation between vegetation and deer Antler point restrictions Lessons learned from deer movements Deer home ranges Timing of the rut and their movement Does full moon actually affect movement?
