Managing Your Herd & Feeding the Hungry | Doe Patrol

Ever feel like your deer herd is out of balance, or miss that classic "deer camp" camaraderie during the off-season? In this episode of Everland Outdoors, we sit down with Tim, the founder of Doe Patrol, to discuss how a simple mission to help less fortunate families in need of protein turned into a massive movement for conservation, community, and charity. Tim breaks down how Doe Patrol serves as a vital outlet for hunters to properly manage their herds by taking more does. But it’s much more than just a management tool—Doe Patrol has evolved into a weekly fellowship. It’s a modern-day "deer camp" where you can learn hands-on butchering skills, mentor youth getting into the outdoors for the first time, and connect with like-minded hunters. Perhaps most importantly, we dive into their incredible initiative of getting meat to those who need it the most, turning harvest into a resource to feed the hungry. We highly recommend checking out their mission. Hit play to learn how you can shoot more does, feed your community, and build deeper fellowship.
