Hunters Surprised by Results of Pennsylvania Deer Study

“Bucks move as much at noon as any other time of day.”  That was one of the conclusions from an exhaustive study done by researchers to study deer movements and what whitetails eat.  Researchers gave pregnant does a locating device that would activate when a fawn was born.  When that happened, researchers raced to the location. They attached a tracking collar, allowing them to monitor fawn mortality and follow the deer throughout its life, including avoiding hunters on public land.
