Ep. 29 - A Biologist's Perspective Deer Over Population with Clint McCoy
In this week's episode, we talk dig deeper into the impact that high deer densities can have on the health of a forest and, consequently, on the Ruffed Grouse by talking with whitetail deer biologist Clint McCoy. Clint provides a professional and biological perspective to how deer impact native habitat and forest health. We discuss:

Biologically and ecologically speaking, is EHD actually a good thing?!
How hunting culture can influence wildlife…
