THE HUNGER: Whitetails of Nantucket Island

Written by Mossberg | Dec 20, 2016 6:48:52 PM

Watch Josh Dahlke, hunter, writer, and creator of the ScoutLook series, “THE HUNGER,” and Scott Buchmayr head to Nantucket in December for some whitetail hunting. Nantucket reportedly has a very high density of deer-per-square-mile, resulting in large deer-reduction efforts across the island to combat tick-borne diseases. People travel from all over New England to thin out the deer population during season. Nantucket's resident population increases by nearly 5 times in the summer, but Josh and Scott "didn't come to sip umbrella drinks in [their] flip flops. [They] came to find deer and make meat."
