Strategic Harvest System: How to Break Through the Buck Management Glass Ceiling

By Dr. Bronson Strickland, Steve Demarais, Bronson Strickland, et al.

As deer hunters, we understand your perspectives and desires. As trained biologists, we understand the science that regulates interactions between deer populations and their habitats. As experienced managers, we see what works, what doesn't, and understand the difference. As researchers, we are on the forefront of new ideas and development of more effective tools. As teachers, we want to help you understand and apply what we know to improve your deer management program.Our management approach, Strategic Selective Harvest, is based on what we've learned during 40 years of research and management, building on the principles of Quality Deer Management. We provide information and tools you need to monitor and manipulate antler size in your deer population. Each buck has a genetic potential for antler size, and there is a wide range of potential within each age class or cohort - we'll teach you how to transform these biological realities into real management progress. You'll learn how to break through the "Buck Management Glass Ceiling" by more effectively managing your buck population standing crop. "A must read for anyone interested in managing their deer herd.
