GPS study ANSWERS what happens when you SPOOK A BUCK!

If you spook your target buck, will he leave and never come back? Today we answer that question with Dr. Gino D'Angelo of the University of Georgia! Dr. D'Angelo is a professor of Deer Ecology & Managment at Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at University of Georgia. Throughout his tenure he has been a part of many studies related to whitetail deer, including GPS collar studies across the southeast! In this episode we dive into a question any deer hunter hasx wondered - what happens when you spook a buck? Does he leave the area completely? Will he immediately circle back? Subjects include: The decline of whitetail deer in the southern Appalachian mountains Why cutting timber means more deer Hunting pressure in the mountains vs low country how did deer react to heavy dog hunting pressure in one of Dr. D'Angelo's studies? How long does it take a buck to return to an area after being spooked by a hunter? How much pressure does it take for a deer to abandon their home range? How far does a deer run when it is spooked? and a lot more! If you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend and let us know what questions you have for our next podcast on deer GPS studies!
