Deer Concerns

Last week we aired a story on an upcoming study on Wisconsin's deer population. It's gonna be HUGE!

The study will be the largest ever on white tail deer conducted by Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources. It's multi-year, many collaborators, much work to be done. And they hope to answer questions about Wisconsin's big buck population and they hope to parse out the question of predators (coyotes, bear, bobcat, and wolves) on the state's fawn population.

But here's the thing, this study will need hunters and others interested in science for "hands-on" research. It's a terrific chance to participate in an important research project that will shape Wisconsin's policy toward deer management. AND it's a chance to get up close and personal with big bucks, does, and fawns. (check out the fawn radio collars in the story)
