Hello,
Please join me in welcoming Moriah Boggess as Indiana DNR's Deer Biologist. A native of North Carolina, Moriah received his BS in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology from North Carolina State University and his MS in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Aquaculture through the Deer Ecology and Management Lab at Mississippi State University. His master's thesis examined the effects of prescribed fire and deer on acorn survival and plant communities. Moriah's professional work experience is diverse. It includes research and extension positions on warm season grass management, waterfowl banding, Bachman's sparrows, impacts of trail construction on wildlife, and various aspects of deer ecology. He was the social media manager for the MSU Deer Lab during his master's research, and for the past three months, he was a habitat technician for Purdue University's Integrated Deer Management project.
Moriah brings a passion for the interrelationships of habitat management, plant communities, and wildlife populations - he continues to participate in managing the family farm in Elkin, NC. He also has a strong appreciation for outreach, education, and communication. He is a frequent contributor to the Quality Deer Management Association and Quality Whitetails and also co-founded "Hunt The Land", a website, blog, and podcast on habitat management, bowhunting, and white-tailed deer. Moriah is an avid deer hunter and enjoys shed hunting, hiking, foraging, reading, and writing in his free time.
Here is Moriah's contact info and he is copied here as well.
