Wildlife Management
Success in North Dakota By Joe Horton, Field Expert - ND
There was no way I was going to miss opening weekend for rifle in North Dakota - a day I had been looking forward too all year long. I have been hunting this property for about 18 years. The area is called the Missouri River Breaks and the terrain is similar to the Badlands, but has more wooded cover in the draws and bottoms. This property is home to both mule deer and whitetail deer and this year I held the first whitetail buck tag I've had in a number of years. I usually hunt muleys during rifle season. This season was unseasonably warm and the deer movement was limited until just before sunset.

Food Plot & Conservation News
Wildlife Food Plots and Soil pH: Is There a Connection? by Richard Tharp, Wildlife Biologist, Alabama DFW
Wildlife food plots, also known as "green fields," are highly popular among white-tailed deer hunters and enthusiasts. Planting some type of food source for wildlife has increasingly become big business since the 1970s. Establishing and maintaining wildlife food plots is one management strategy used by landowners and sportsmen to provide wildlife with one component of their needs. Huge sums of dollars are spent on seed and fertilizer to produce these wildlife food plots across the nation.

A Glut of Does Harms Bucks
Article from QDMA Written by: John J. Ozoga
In white-tailed deer, the adult sexes live separately during much of the year, just as they do in mule deer, red deer, elk, moose, and many other ungulates. Scientists refer to this social and geographical separation as “sexual segregation" or "niche separation" of the sexes.
Related does live in close-knit matriarchal societies, composed of mothers, daughters, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and so forth. Bucks, on the other hand, form fraternal or bachelor groups generally composed of unrelated males. In either case, social group size and the degree of social complexity varies depending upon many different factors that influence deer herd sex-age composition and density. {Read More}
