Are Deer Hunters Getting It Wrong?

What if one of the biggest problems facing whitetail deer management isn't that we're killing too many deer, but that we're not killing enough?

This week on Under Pressure Outdoors, we're joined by Kip Adams of the National Deer Association to take a hard look at the state of America's whitetail herd and what the latest research is telling us.

Kip makes a bold statement: We're not harvesting enough does. But what does that mean for deer populations, hunting opportunities, and the future of whitetail management?

We dig into deer population trends, buck age structure, antlerless harvest, habitat management, disease, and the growing disconnect between what hunters believe and what wildlife science actually tells us.

Whether you're managing a hunting property, chasing mature bucks, or simply trying to understand what's happening in your local deer woods, this conversation might challenge everything you thought you knew about deer management.

Are we managing deer for healthier herds, or are we letting hunting traditions get in the way of good science?

Tune in and decide for yourself.
