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:
