We are coming up on peak lactation in much of the south. The timing of fire can drastically affect forage quality during peak lactation. @deerassociation @UFDEERLab @MSUDeerLab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Great article in the new QW by @HuangMiranda of @MSUDeerLab summarizing her research on aflatoxin in deer corn. It’s real, and it can reach levels that harm deer and other wildlife, but the advice in Miranda’s article will help hunters avoid that.

Great Facebook Live with @WildTurkeyReprt and @DrDisturbance on prescribed fire and turkey management! Link below to watch:

This is a great example of collaboration to answer big questions. Deer researchers from 12 states came together to understand how reproductive timing and duration affects fawn predation risk. @wildturkeydoc @MSUDeerLab @WTDresearch @campfire_wild besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Exciting job opportunity in my lab! Are you interested in extension, science communication, podcasting?!? Check out this opportunity in collaboration with @MSUDeerLab @purduewildlifer @adamkjanke @TheAussieWahoo wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/natur…

Average % of a buck’s maximum lifetime antler size (gross inches) by age class, from research at @MSUDeerLab and @JavelinaNation
1½ - 28%
2½ - 62%
3½ - 78%
4½ - 92%
5½ - 99%
This assumes adequate nutrition. Bucks on poor forage might take 1 or 2 more years to reach max.

If you have a favorite (or host) a podcast focused on ecology or a closely related discipline presenting science driven information, please reply or dm with link. We are putting a comprehensive list together! @MSUDeerLab @purduewildlifer @adamkjanke @UFWildlife

Deer forage produced by stump sprouts has higher protein and minerals than leaves of a grown tree of the same species, for two years after the cut. Rainer Nichols, one of @DrDisturbance’s @MSUDeerLab students, calls stumps the “closed canopy mini food plot” in his #SEDSG poster.

This buck was munching down on acorns which were exposed to prescribed fire in an experiment where we are evaluating factors that affect acorn selection by wildlife. Graduate student Moriah Boggess in my lab is making quick progress!

Interested in managing pine plantation for deer and turkey? Here we show how forest management affected both species. @MSUDeerLab sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

This tree all along the tombigbee river bank is Chinese tallow. Each plant can produce 100k viable seeds a year that are animal and water dispersed. Plants have been documented to start producing at 3 years of age. A pretty nasty #InvasiveSpecies

This may look nice but those fuzzy seed heads are cogongrass, which is a very aggressive nonnative. In May they are easy to target because they stick out in the plant community. @MSU_CFR @MSUExtService @MSUDeerLab

Make sure your sources for CWD information are reliable. Together we can #FightCWD

⚠️ Warning: Reading this QW article by @MSUDeerLab folks, including @DrDisturbance, may cause itching. But the payoff is learning about their ingenious trap for measuring tick density. – at Georgia, USA
