688 - The Science Behind Buck DAYLIGHT Movement with Dr. Will Gulsby

Dr. Will Gulsby has been researching whitetail deer for almost 20 years. He is currently at Auburn University at the college of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment.

Over the years Dr. Gulsby has been part of a ton of interesting research around whitetail deer and has unique insights into the data, being both a researcher and a hunter. In this conversation, we focus on a study conducted in South Carolina on a large hunting property where many of the deer were fitted with GPS collars and then tracked.
