Dr Dave Samuel spent a 30 year career as a wildlife management professor at West Virginia University.  Dr Dave said that he truly enjoyed his work there and loved new interns because he always had another deer study ready to go. However, Dave's journey goes well beyond a life of academia.  Dave is an accomplished writer and journalist for Bowhunter Magazine, Whitetail Journal, and Bowhunting.net.  He's also won several lifetime achievement awards from the National Bowhunter Education Foundation, QDMA, and Whitetails Unlimited. He's also been inducted into the Bowhunter and Archery Hall's of Fame.  Not too shabby a resume.  Oh, and did we mention that he's one heck of a good deer hunter? It probably goes without saying.  Dave struggles a bit with the physical aspects of deer hunting these days after suffering from a surgery gone bad where a surgeon accidentally severed the nerve to his diaphragm.  But that doesn't stop Dave. He still goes hunting.  We touch on several different topics in this episode and dig deep into Dave's strategies for killing big whitetail with a bow and arrow.  OUR SPONSORS: ScentLok Enforcer www.ScentLokEnforcer.com Advanced Take-Down Treestands www.AdvancedTreestands.com Morse's Sporting Goods www.MorseSportingGoods.com DEER NEWS: 2017 SHOT Show Show Posts Strong Attendance Numbers Missouri Department of Conservation Reporting Deer Numbers Man Spend Thousands Feeding Deer Conservation Officers Need Help Finding 3 Legged Doe Killer HERE'S WHAT WE DISCUSS: It Began in Johnstown Pennsylvania Teaching at West Virginia U and Whitetail Deer Studies Bow Hunter Magazine Writing and a Buck Hunt 76 Years Old and Still Killing Pope and Young Bucks What are Prions?  A Mutated Protein Social Media, Relative to Hunters and Hunting Killing Cecil the Lion Is there a Disconnect Between Politicians and Wildlife Management?
