Whitetail Research is a podcast about figuring out what deer actually do, not what we think they do. Hosted by Derrick Dixon, the show delves into real-world observations, fieldwork, and long-term whitetail research, utilizing drones, maps, and time spent on the ground. We talk movement, bedding, pressure, access, and the small details that separate patterns from guesswork. It’s part science, part experience, and a lot of honest conversation, built for hunters and land managers who want to understand deer a little better every season.

    Challenging Mature Buck Behavior w/Dan Infalt

    Welcome to the first Whitetail Research Podcast episode. I’m not a podcaster by trade; I research whitetail deer. But over the past few years, I realized something powerful: I’ve built a unique body of research through thermal drone observation, mapping, and countless hours in the field that deserves to be challenged, tested, and compared against some of the best bowhunters in the world.That’s why I created the Whitetail Research Podcast.This podcast is built for hunters who want to understand deer, not just hunt them.PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/WhitetailResearchONX CODE: https://webmap.onxmaps.com/purchase/hunt/membership?promo=wrLearn more: https://whitetailresearch.netInstagram: https://instagram.com/whitetailresearch-- Video Chapters --0:00 Biden0:16 Intro0:44 Most Difficult Habitat03:35 Most Important Factor06:36 Bucks Love Humans10:36 Non-Pressured Marsh12:56 Acorns Role for Marsh16:49 Hunting Oak Islands22:40 Hunting Hill Country 24:14 Bed Shifting31:24 Marsh Browse Preference33:05 Bed in Water?33:40 Nocturnal Bucks36:45 Getting to Know a Bed39:59 Cutting Shooting Lanes41:27 Historical Significance45:37 Deer Intelligence48:49 Think Like A Dan53:43 Visual Landmarks54:36 Ending54:55 Next Video Preview #hunting #bowhunting #archery #drone #wildliferesearch #deer #deerhunting #research #deerresearch #whitetailresearch
