In this episode, Jason talks with Steve Demarais of the Mississippi State University Deer Lab. Steve is the Co-Director of MSU Deer Lab, Taylor Chair in applied big game research, a lifetime hunter, and spent the past 40 years in the research field (in Texas and MSU) as a deer biologist. During the conversation, he fills us in on the purpose of the MSU Deer Lab, why GPS tracking is such a valuable tool, and how a GPS study works. Topics also discussed include what these studies have taught us, myths that have been debunked, and how GPS tracking is changing how we think about the spread of CWD. Of course, a large portion of the episode revolves around Buck 140, who swam across the Mississippi River multiple times while wearing a GPS collar.
