724 - Whitetail Research: What REALLY Gets Bucks Moving (Revealed by Drone Study)

Today, we are talking with @WhitetailResearch on some extremely unique and interesting insights into buck behavior that have come out of a year-long thermal drone study!

Derrick Dixon is the man behind the channel/website Whitetail Research. In today's episode we dive into his findings from his year long study using a thermal drone to observe buck movement. Subjects: • The factor that allowed Derrick to time when bucks would get up & move. • Do bucks really move farther in the morning or evening? • Are thermals more important than wind? • How much do acorns change deer movement? • Why don’t mature bucks show up in fields during daylight? • Could your access strategy be hurting you more than you think? • Are the funnels you’re hunting actually risky spots for bucks? • What really happens in staging areas before dark? • What can drones reveal that GPS collars can’t?

and a TON more! Make sure you check out @WhitetailResearch on YouTube to see all the great information he is putting out.
