Happy Thanksgiving
We found out about another incredible long distance dispersal of >30 miles this week. The doe was part of our fawn survival studies that were conducted in 2015-2017. It will be awhile before I can narrow down which individual it is. This a great reminder of why it's important to keep your eye out if you hunt off post. Please submit any sightings of tagged or collared deer at fortdrumdeer.org/tagreport . Please also submit tissue samples from deer harvested off post. More info can be found on the site.

We had a deer from one of your studies in Mooers Forks a few years ago. We were in touch with you for a few days but nothing since.
So are they heading to the Seguin farm?
It’s been seen 2 x about two weeks ago
She made it over the razor wire
Harvest Update: 16 Deer have been harvested in the cantonment area so far
-11 Does, 5 Bucks
We have also had 5 tissue samples submitted from the training area and surrounding communities. Please encourage your friends that hunt off post to submit samples. Information can be found at fortdrumdeer.org

I received a question today about our deer birth distribution results and wanted to share the information to everyone. The birth peak has stayed consistently May 31/June 1 every year since we began in 2015. Birth peak can be used to predict the arrival of the rut. White-tailed deer gestation is 200-205 days.
