Share this event
Join us for the Wildlife Investments Deer Management Academy in Raymond Mississippi, just outside Jackson! During this one-day classroom event you will learn how the Wildlife Investments team approaches property management for quality and trophy deer management. The course will cover in-depth deer biology principles, population dynamics, and how various plant communities are used by deer. The majority of the course will be focused on practical management applications, giving you a blueprint for how to work through property layout, determine best management options for a given management unit, measure progress, adapt to changing conditions, and manage your property long-term. This is a classroom style event. There will be time allotted for Q&A and plenty throughout the event.
