Big Deer TV is an exciting outdoor show on the Outdoor Channel that follows host and skilled hunter Mike Hanback as he embarks on epic hunting adventures in various locations across the United States. For season 2 episode 11, titled Predator Problems, Mike Hanback is back with a new hunting adventure located in a Colorado ranch as he tries to tackle the problem of predation in the area.
Predators like bobcats, coyotes, and mountain lions are a serious problem for deer populations, especially during the fawning season when newborn fawns are easily preyed upon. Mike Hanback meets up with the ranch owner, who shares his concerns about the declining deer population and explains the significant impact of predation on his ranch.
Mike and his team set up camp and prepare themselves for an intense hunting season as they plan to take down as many predators as possible. Mike explains the importance of killing predators in such a situation because, without proper management, predators tend to become too bold, which will continue to put the deer population at risk. Mike and the ranch owner work together to identify the areas with the highest amount of predator activity and start setting traps to reduce this risk.
In the midst of their efforts, Mike also focuses on his passion for hunting and showcasing his skills. He heads out to spot and stalk whitetail deer, and his hunting skills are put to the test as he tracks down a trophy whitetail buck. Mike successfully bags the buck, and his experience and insights into the art of hunting are shown in this episode.
Furthermore, Predator Problems take a dramatic turn when Mike and his team face an unexpected threat as they come across a massive rattlesnake. This encounter adds to the sense of adventure in the episode, but also emphasizes the importance of being alert and prepared in the wilderness.
After a few days of intense predator management, Mike and the ranch owner see a significant improvement in their efforts, as they manage to reduce the predator population. In turn, this enables the fawns and deer population to thrive, providing the ranch with healthy deer that can offer an excellent hunting experience for visitors.
In conclusion, this episode showcases the importance of predator control in ranching areas to maintain a healthy deer population. The episode also emphasizes the passion and dedication of Mike Hanback, and his team to the sport of hunting and the value of nature. Season 2 episode 11 of Big Deer TV is a must-watch for any hunting or outdoor enthusiast.
