Description
Brock McMillan is a research professor at Brigham Young University, where he focuses on the population and community ecology of mammals, wildlife habitat, behavioral ecology, and conservation. Brock is also a lifelong mule deer hunter. Some of his more recent projects include population ecology of mule deer, specifically evaluating fawn and adult doe mortality as it relates to predation and habitat health. He has also done research to examine the influence of maternal effects on fawn fitness, including antler growth over the lifespan of the fawn. Brock joins the Big Hunt Guys to talk about the ecological and social pressures facing mule deer in the West. The guys do a deep dive into mule deer habitat, predation, buck-to-doe ratios, age class, and the future of mule deer management.Follow along:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gohunt/GOHUNTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GOHUNTofficial/GOHUNTYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GOHUNTGOHUNTTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gohuntofficialGOHUNTWebsite: https://www.gohunt.com/More resources: Sign up for Insider today and use promo code PODCAST to receive $50 to the GOHUNT Gear Shop: https://join.gohunt.com/try/insider
