Welcome to this episode of the Built to Hunt Podcast, where we’re focusing on expert strategies for pursuing one of North America’s most iconic big-game animals: the mule deer.

In this episode of the Built To Hunt Podcast, we dive deep into Utah’s deer management strategy with special guest Dax Mangus, a key member of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and Big Game Program Coordinator. As Utah battles with declining deer populations, factors like habitat improvement, hunting regulations, and public opinion shape the current management plan. Dax sheds light on the 100,000-acre+ habitat restoration initiative, the impact of energy development on deer populations, and the vital role GPS collar studies play in tracking deer health and behavior. We also discuss the importance of balancing a healthy buck-to-doe ratio, changes to weapon allocation, and the unique four-point restriction system in Pine Valley. How does Utah’s approach compare to other states, and are these measures enough to ensure a sustainable deer population? Dax shares insights on how public surveys influence season structures and the challenges in shifting season dates. Join us as we explore the complex intersection of conservation, hunting satisfaction, and policy in Utah’s deer management efforts.   Host: Austin Atkinson Co-Host: Deziree Lambert Interviewing: Dax Mangus Episode Photo Credit: 30 Wide Photography https://www.instagram.com/30widephotography/   Podcast Partners: Western Hunt Expo: https://huntexpo.com/ GEAR FOOL: https://www.gearfool.com/ Use Code BUILTTOHUNT for 10% OFF in Our GEAR FOOL Store Today!   Get Connected: Subscribe to HUNTIN' FOOL on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@huntinfool_official Become a HUNTIN' FOOL Member here: https://www.huntinfool.com/join Download The HUNTIN' FOOL App: https://www.huntinfool.com/app   Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: /huntinfoolofficial Instagram:  /huntinfool_official/
