I agree 100%. I respect Grant and think he’s one of the most educated deer biologist in the country. My wife and I have been to the Proving Grounds at least a half dozen times. Grant has turned an old cutover rock pit into excellent wildlife habitat. I practice many of his recommendations on our land
Bottom line - sponsors dictate what Grant says. He is building a business and raising a family. If he wants sponsors dollars, he has to support their product. I’ve followed Grant even before he moved to the Proving Grounds when he was doing “Beyond the Basics” in Mississippi 12 years ago. He is a great guy but he follows the almighty dollar like most everyone else
CNC provides a good example. A couple other issues where he has made complete 180 on his recommendations are planting fruit trees and supplemental feeding. When I first meet Grant, about 15 years ago, he was 100% against any type of supplemental feeding. His recommendation was always to shoot more does to balance population with habitat. Then came the sponsors.... now isupplemental feeding is a great way help your deer get through the tough times. Same with planting trees... I could type pages of examples where he adjusted his recommendations based on sponsorship. That’s why I quit following him a couple years ago. That and way too many commercials
I still think he is “The Deer Doctor” and truly respect his knowledge and opinions. Highly recommend a trip to the Proving Grounds as he and his family are great hosts. Just remember that he’s doing this to make a living while most of us are habitat managers because we are passionate and/or addicted
