New Berlin, Wis. –(Ammoland.com)- Problems facing whitetail deer populations are numerous and profound all across America; and sportsmen and women are the ones on the front line discussing, researching and eventually solving these issues.

Sportsman Channel’s Whitetail Properties continues the network’s dominance in whitetail programming, by gathering a panel of top-rated professional deer hunters, scientists, doctors and wildlife biologists to answer important questions about the ecosystem, and problems surrounding whitetail deer. The men discuss topics including: whitetail population as a whole and in specific regions, problems whitetails are facing with disease and predator control, as well as relative and cost effective solutions.
