Our first tagged fawn for the 2021 season was just born this afternoon. This is likely our last season doing fawn capture as we wrap up our research after 6 years. This year we will only be doing limited fawn capture, targeting the fawns born to our GPS collared does.
Fawn 151 was born to doe 773 right by main gate.
We love following this project! I hope something similar can follow. What a neat way to stay learn about the nature right in our backyards. Thank you for doing this project!
I have enjoyed watching your research from afar. We were never at Drum, but a friend was and shared your page. I’m a little jealous that my grad research wasn’t on deer! 🥰
Has the deer population on Fort Drum significantly declined in the past 6 years? I feel like there was a time when you couldn’t round a corner without running into deer and now I can’t recall the last time I saw one.
Interesting
I was doing some archival work and came across this great cartoon. Oscar Warbach, 1951.
Please help us learn more about Fort Drum's bear population!🐻
Why so there can be a cull on bears like deer on Cantonment ?
We are prepping over 1200 deer tissue samples from the last 6 years for their genetic analysis.
What for y'all killed all the deer 😥
Please post your findings.
