    Big Regulation Changes for Michigan - did the DMI Teams Prevail or Fail? w/ guest - Adam Miller | Series: Controversies & Solutions; IQ-5

    In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are in our series - hunting controversies and solutions.  I am joined by Adam Miller - host of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast as we co-air a discussion about the recent Michigan Deer Management Initiative Recommendations. How did those meetings with public input for new regulations actually go, and what will be the outcome for deer hunting in Michigan - we share our takes with some controversial regulations - like youth season restructuring, APR’s coming into play, possible earn a buck, and much more.Here's what to look for in this episode:• What is the hunting culture issue Adam speaks of in Michigan?• What seems to be a big fail in the DMI process according to us both?• Do youth seasons help or hurt with the Michigan buck-centric culture (meaning our obsession to shoot lots of bucks instead of does, which leads to an unhealthy and imbalanced deer herd).• And will baiting be reinstated - is that good or bad?And a whole lot more High IQ stuff in there!Year Theme: To Be a Greater HunterSeries: Hunting Controversies & SolutionsEpisode # 55Guests: Host Adam Lewis, Guest - Adam Miller (Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bowhunterchronicles_podcast/ Website: https://bowhunterchroniclespodcast.com/)

    The CWD Solution - Scientists, Deer Farmer, & DNR Biologist Weigh in! Series: Controversies & Solutions; IQ-5

    The CWD Solution - Scientists, Deer Farmer, & DNR Biologist Weigh in! Series: Controversies & Solutions; IQ-5

    In this episode we’re in a new series - Hunting Controversies & Solutions.  I was warned not to cover this topic, because it’s probably the most controversial and maybe divisive one in the deer hunting world - Chronic Wasting Disease, or CWD. But we’re going to look at because I think it’s important to know about & discuss. We’ll get an overview of what it is, how states have handled or mishandled it, and opinions on potential solutions from a DNR Biologist, 2 top scientists, and a very knowledgeable Deer Farmer. And, you’re going to want to write some of this overflowing wealth of wisdom down, and reflect on it after to get the most out of it. Our free journal is the best way to do that - download it below. Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What do we know, and NOT know about CWD?• What has worked to combat it, and what has not?• How are state DNR agencies measuring the effectiveness of the actions taken to stop the spread?• 2 reasons why Dr. Bronson Strickland says it's so hard to combat.• What Dr. Karl Miller says is so "scary," and what he thinks the deer herd could look like in a few decades if CWD is not stopped. • What the Deer Professor and Deer Farmer (Conquest Scents) Doug Roberts says about the genetic solution, and how deer farms are getting the solution.And a whole lot more High IQ stuff in there!Year Theme: To Be a Greater HunterSeries: Hunting Controversies & SolutionsEpisode # 54Guest: Host Adam Lewis; Chad Stewart, Dr. Bronson Strickland, Dr. Karl Miller, IQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)DEER IQ Services:• Surgical Hunting Small Group - email Adam for interest adam@deeriq.com • if interested in a whitetail weekend workshop, strategic land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit here:  https://forms.gle/peiUQPgUWDKkGG6g7

Awesome content

The content is to the point and down to earth. Even the more advance topics are broke down to where first time hunters will get something out of them and same goes for basic topics hunters who have a lot of time in already can pick up new tricks or mindset shifts to utilize in the woods

A Hidden Gem

I like Adam’s focus on the educational side of deer hunting, both with the basics and more experienced, higher-level hunting info. He doesn’t pull any punches. He’s got a lot of experience but also admits he doesn’t know everything. We certainly can all strive to be better hunters and that’s the simple, but profound point of this podcast.

Great start

Can’t wait to see where this podcast goes. Great start and he is always asking the right questions for deer hunting and learning
