This is part 2 of our series with Dr. Bronson Strickland of MSU Deer Lab! Catch part 1 here - • Solving the MYSTERY of...
In this episode we dig deeper into Mississippi States GPS data on whitetail deer and discuss:
- How bucks seem to "anchor" themselves around specific features
- What features could serve as an anchor on public land or a hunting club
- How a buck seems to have travel loops
- What is the ideal size food plot for mature buck use?
- Variations in buck home ranges
- What is a whitetail's "feed clock" and how often do they get up to feed
- If deer move about the same amount every day, what makes a good vs bad hunting day? How are we missing them?
- How long does it take deer to go back to normal after a spike in hunting pressure?
and a TON more!

Y’all should do a follow up video or podcast where you go to this property, and evaluate these travel corridors and bedding areas that the data is laying out, and see if it matches how you would normally read the sign, or not.

The idea that deer only move into the wind seems sound until you think about it. If that is what they did 80% of the time all the deer in North America would all end up in Washington State or British Columbia. I think they like to bed with the wind in their favor, but that sometimes means they have to travel to that spot ignoring the wind until they reach that spot. Or they will make a swing or J hook when they get close to the location they are going to feed or bed. But most of the travel was just making the move to get the wind advantage.

Is corialis effect shows why that dont happen

@ec9697 5 дней назад

Most big bucks I have seen are cutting it at some kind Of an angle when they can’t see and if they can see they don’t care..

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen 5 дней назад

another point to consider is local variations in wind direction. In our part of Alabama our prevailing wind is actually ESE - but terrain and vegetation can cause it to swirl and redirect quite a bit. So the weather station may say SE, but on the side of a ridge the buck may be traveling it could be different because of it deflecting off something.

@jasonscott5043 3 дня назад

Air density has is what causes the swirling winds. You were talking about the smoke bomb experiment and how the smoke cleared most of the field but skirted the edge of the timber and pooled in a pocket. It’s because the air in the tim er is cooler and dense and the air in the field is hotter and less dense. Swirling winds are usually from down drafts of cooler denser air falling to the ground and spreading out like pouring water on a flat surface. I think deer like that, because as you alluded to, they get a better sense of danger in a broader area. Instead of only danger from one direction. Cloudy or partly cloudy days has lots of downdrafts. Maybe they deal like they have a better sense of what is going on around them by their nose with swirling winds and odds are in their favor.

I would love to see this map with 2 colors one for daytime movement and one for night time!

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen 5 дней назад

We are going to try and make that happen in a future episode!

5.7k views in 1 day. you think guys might like this topic😅. y'all really got to try and get access to the land they did this study on. actually put eye's on the major travel areas and beds. that would be next level.

@MrSquidwardGames 5 дней назад

I'd love to see several studies where it looks at the food plot size, but approaches the size as a percentage of the food plot acre range (4acre was preferred when the range was .5-20acre ~ 20%.) I feel like if you go to a place with very little field food, the smaller the ideal plot size would be?

@toddrobinson2987 44 минуты назад

Wind…… They will bed with the wind to their back and my experience they move with and against it but I have seen them move perpendicular to it some during the rut. I have trails on my property I know are mainly used by does and the bucks will use a trail on the downwind side of it. They also use these same trails with the after it has changed direction. No trail starts and finishes in a straight line.

Really good interview….😉👍

@progun2012 6 дней назад

They need to post a random online or Facebook survey of die hard deer hunters asking, what do you guys want from all of this data? A lot of the questions you guys have would be the same questions I’d have. Just an idea

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen 6 дней назад

That’s a great idea!

@Miguel_Travels 5 дней назад

It would have been fun to review the maps before revealing any of the data to see how well you could determine bedding sites and movement.

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen 5 дней назад

That’s a great idea!

@curtismerriman9956 5 дней назад

So true flat river land is crazy hard to figure out deer in for me. Without Terrain it’s like they travel random.

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen 5 дней назад

One thing Dr. Strickland mentioned is that they may be keying in on sight a lot when they travel in more flat terrain. As in, if there is some kind of line of vegetation (think of a grown-up road bed going through the woods) they are more likley to follow it.

@curtismerriman9956 4 дня назад

@@thesouthernoutdoorsmen very nice I will. Hills make since but river bottom is so hard. They don’t do the same things as my public forest. Scrapes our pointless in there. Not sure it’s because of deer population or size of property they Rome but it just doesn’t make since to me.

I wish yall would stop looking at individual beds… we all know it’s a area not a 20x20 spot😂 Second until they tease the info as they say for micro details that is crazy hard and time consuming ur painting to broad a stroke on a situation that has way too many variables to have that broad a stroke… case and point he talked about diet for specific deer can be different… and comparing Iowa to the study was stupid… u can’t compare different areas to one another but u can take away tendencies… in topography bucks will travel and bed in certain elevation lines in steep areas… then cut out the rest and make it as open areas… swamps hunt transitions from wet to dry and cover… rest is dead zone… same thing as Iowa… almost… until they narrow the specifics down on the studies there ain’t much to take away from the honestly

@brenthaskins3821 4 дня назад

Is there any data for the average time spent in a bed?

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen 4 дня назад

We cover that in this episode. They are bedded for roughly 4 hours in each bed. Average 4 beds per day

@jasonscott5043 3 дня назад

The batteries in the collar only last so long so they have to limit the times per day they get a location reading. This way they can get a longer duration of data points. The trade off is the data is more general than what you want to know.
