    300: A Few Mule Deer Facts From Utah
    Mar 26 2024
    In this episode, the host discusses the findings from a mule deer meeting where research professors and PhD candidates shared their research on mule deer management. The conversation covers topics such as the impact of precipitation on mule deer population, mortality factors for mule deer, cougars as predators of mule deer, and the effect of buck-to-doe ratios on mule deer population. The host also emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of buck-to-doe ratios and discusses the optimal ratio for population growth. The episode concludes with a mention of upcoming research presentations. Takeaways
    • Precipitation plays a crucial role in the health and population of mule deer.
    • Mortality factors for mule deer include heat susceptibility in fawns and cougar predation.
    • Cougars can target mule deer of all ages, leading to population decline.
    • The optimal buck-to-doe ratio for population growth is around 12 to 13 bucks for every 100 does.

  • Buck Dies from Salmonella

    Buck Dies from Salmonella
    Mar 19 2024
    In this episode, host Nick Madsen shares the story of a mature buck that died in a highly trafficked area. The initial suspicion was that the deer had consumed the toxic California Ewe plant, but further examination revealed multiple health issues. Ultimately, the cause of death was determined to be salmonella septicemia, possibly contracted from a nearby dairy farm. The deer also had sarcocytosis, a parasite infection. Madsen discusses the concerns and ongoing monitoring efforts to ensure the health of the local deer population. Takeaways
    • The California Ewe plant is highly toxic to mule deer and can cause rapid death.
    • The deer in question had multiple health issues, including colitis, hepatitis, sarcocytosis, ticks, and nasal pharyngeal bot worms.
    • Salmonella septicemia was determined to be the primary cause of death, possibly contracted from a nearby dairy farm.
    • Sarcocytosis is an incidental parasite infection that can be transmitted through contaminated feces.
