What are APR zones, why do states implement them, and how do they help or hurt deer hunters? These are just some of the questions we dive into with Erik Schnelle from the National Deer Association.
In today's episode, Erik tells us why certain states would want to have an APR zone implemented, which states wouldn't, and the ideal ratio of bucks to does in a certain area.
We also discuss:
- What is the National Dear Association (NDA)?
- What does a naturally healthy herd of deer look like?
- Why do people shoot young bucks?
- When do APR zones make sense?
- Recent APR zone changes in Michigan
- What were the results of APR zones in Michigan?
- Diving into CWD
- What deer density looks like per mile
- What’s the ideal doe/buck ratio?
- Why did Michigan stop doing APR zones this year?
- Why the recent changes have been so frustrating
- How to voice your opinion
- The importance of testing for CWD
- Harvesting does vs bucks
- What can hunters do to help improve hunting conditions?
