Fawn to Doe Ratios: Predicting Your Mule Deer Future

March 03, 2025

With good fawn to doe ratios being reported in multiple western states, Robby talks about how he uses this information to decide where to hunt now and in the future.

He also jumps into other topics:

Also, Robby shares four gross scores from mule deer vs. their lab age results, sent in from a listener. The bucks ranged from four to seven years old. The size of their antlers vs. their age might surprise you.
Robby also talks about the slider feature on the National Drought Monitor in anticipation of his upcoming episode with Josh Boyd, Hydrologist for U.S.F.S, on the water season update for 2025 in the next few weeks
