Ep. 34 What’s the best habitat for White-Tailed Deer
This past weekend we hung out at the Iowa Deer Classic Convention. Not only did we have a lot of fun, we asked a lot of Deer hunters what the best method of deer hunting was and what was the best habitat for these deer. We also wanted an expert opinion, so we interviewed Jace Elliott, Iowa's State Deer Biologist of the Iowa DNR. You won't want to miss his knowledge on deer habitat.
