S1E9 CullFest Explained with Ben Binnion and Scott Krueger

On this episode of the Peter Panda Podcast, we’re headed to CullFest in the famed Maverick County of south Texas. We dissect the meticulous world of low-fence, trophy deer management with wildlife biologist, Ben Binnon, and retired Texas Game Warden, Scott Krueger. We dive into habitat management, supplemental feeding programs, culling, and ultimately, how these guys work tirelessly to minimize the stress levels of this highly manicured herd of deer. Ben explains that, within his particular management strategy, culling deer is absolutely necessary, but these tools and practices can differentiate from a habitat's specific carrying capacity, to different management end goals. Time to climb into the Texas deer blind and play a small, but extremely fun and important role, in growing some of the biggest wild whitetail deer on earth.
