Dr. Bronson Strickland is the foremost authority in whitetail deer research right. He is also our friend. Over the years we have had a great relationship with Bronson centered around the mutual love for whitetail deer and a desire to properly manage habitat in a way that maximizes the overall herd health as well as antler production. On this episode we will be talking about summer foodplots and deer nutrition. We also discuss Bronson's transition from MSU to private consulting. He and Mitt Warldaw along with some of the best consultants in the country have formed Wildlife Investments. In case you are just getting into hunting and habitat management, here is a short bio on Dr. Strickland: Bronson Strickland holds BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in wildlife biology and management from the University of Georgia, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Mississippi State University.
