Ep. 1051: What Thermal Drones Revealed About Big Bucks

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/197c5b06-ca96-44d0-bfc3-b481017c47b6/transcript

We often underestimate how bucks eat to not only survive, but thrive. It pays to think of them as animal athletes, and to learn what food sources offer them the most protein, fat, carbs and general nutrition. Focusing on a buck's diet throughout the summer and the season is a strategy that will keep you in the game all season long.
