In this episode of the Deer Season 365 Podcast, we talk with Dr. Mark Turner about the one type of plant that is the greatest source of deer nutrition. What type of plant is that, exactly? You'll have to listen to the podcast for the answer to that, but Mark will cover the type of plant, how to manage your property for these plants, and how they compare to other deer food sources. This is a great episode full of information you can put to use on your hunting property!

Many deer hunters and the public at large are unaware of the critical work university affiliated state and regional wildlife health organizations do for the betterment of wildlife and human health. Deer are no exception, and in many cases, they dominate the workload due to their abundance, impact on broad wildlife conservation, and popularity.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lisa Murphy, a veterinarian, professor of toxicology, and the leader of the Pennsylvania Wildlife Futures Program at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Murphy explains the importance of wildlife health programs while detailing some of the specific work she oversees, ranging from the day-to-day rigors of regional wildlife health technicians to CWD sampling at the laboratory, to leading critical research for deer and other wildlife species.

NDA has enjoyed a rich partnership with the Pennsylvania Wildlife Futures Program and others like it around the country, and even long-time members may be unaware of how many unique projects the organization works on that have broad implications for deer, hunting, and habitat. This episode illustrates one of the many ways NDA works with key partners to accomplish important science-based outcomes for deer and other wildlife.

Through the Wildlife Futures Program, the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) is conducting a study to explore leading causes of mortality in deer with and without CWD within a CWD-endemic area. The study team outfitted deer with GPS-collars programmed to emit a mortality signal to promptly retrieve carcasses for a complete necropsy with associated ancillary tests to determine the cause of death. Early results are in, and we are joined by Dr. Erick Gagne and Dr. Jennifer Hoy-Petersen of Penn Vet to discuss what the team has found so far.
