THE HUNGER: Whitetails of Nantucket Island

THE HUNGER: Whitetails of Nantucket Island

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."
