The Science of Deer with Jim Heffelfinger
Episode sponsored by Phelps Game Calls
Consistent with the idea of this show, this episode is all about learning about the wild game we hunt. Jim Heffelfinger, AKA Jim.Deere, is one of the world's leading experts on America's favorite game species, deer! Jim is currently the Wildlife Science Coordinator for the Arizona Game & Fish. He has made a career and a huge impact in the wildlife management space. He's also an author, writing an insanely popular must-have book for all hunters called "Deer of the Southwest." Jim serves as chairman of the Western Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies. Needless to say, he knows deer...
Jim and I dive into deer habitat, cohabitation between mule deer and whitetail, coues deer hunting, hybrid deer and survivability, desert mule deer hunting, challenges facing mule deer, point restrictions in various game management units, deer conservation, and a lot more. Jim is the kind of guest that is eager to share the wisdom and knowledge that deer hunters everywhere could benefit from knowing. Proud to call him my new friend!
