ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today's host is Robby Denning. He recently attended the triennial Nevada Mule Deer Summit held in Ely, Nevada July 23rd-25th, 2026.
The Summit hosted a plethora of wildlife professionals speaking on everything about mule deer
Mule Deer Survival
Migrations
Mule deer response to fires (this one was super interesting)
Population Densities
Predation
Hunting for a better future
Competition between elk and deer
The downside of high Buck:Doe ratios
and so much more.
Speakers included Kevin Monteith of the Monteith Shop, Randy Larsen of BYU, and Toby Boudreau of Idaho Fish and Game. All of these speakers have been guests on the Rokcast.
Besides these, at least 10 other wildlife professionals shared how the various Western wildlife agencies are working to ensure a future for mule deer.
One of these, Cody Schroeder of Nevada Division of Wildlife stepped up to the Rokcast mic to discuss his topic for the Summit: "Understanding the Primary Drivers of Mule Deer Survival in Nevada". This is Cody's 2nd time on the Rokcast (his episode on Nevada Mule Deer Management Trade-offs is here https://www.ndow.org/)
So listen in to understand how Nevada's mule deer can recover from this latest downturn. We saw a similar population decline in the early 1980s, but by the later years of that decade, Nevada herds were peaking again. Cody shares what it takes to get a mule deer herd growing and thriving again.
