Manage the Wild

In this episode, host Nick Madsen shares his experience of hazing deer to prevent damage to a wheat field. He discusses the various methods of hazing, including using bird shot, cracker shells, and a rifle. Nick also highlights the challenges of hazing in a large area and the potential risks involved. He recounts a nerve-wracking moment when he had to prevent a group of deer from crossing a freeway. Despite the efforts, hazing may not always be effective in deterring deer from returning to the area. The episode concludes with Nick reflecting on the temporary nature of hazing as a solution.
