It's part of a doe mortality study.They do the same thing with gobblers.

I really thought that the big yellow ribbons placed on the last years subjects in the doe mortality study made the conclusions biased.
I mean really who's going to shoot a doe with a big yellow ribbon around its neck?[:-]

If there was'nt areward, no one would turn in the tags. Maybe they should pay some of you guys to turn in your deer kill cards too.

[livbucks]

People will be killing themselves to get to the roadkills before the next guy.

I like it. I get paid to have fun, what could be better?

[DennyF]

It was explained during the BOC meeting, as part of the doe study. Radio collars and other "tags"sometimes get thrown away and are not reported. They cost far more than the $100 reward tags being put in some doe ears for possible later recovery by hunters.

As it related to previous studies, $100 is about the minimum required for the majority of hunters to bother reporting them for the purposes of the studies.

[DougE]

What the heck,isn't the USP offering up a $10,000 reward for any mountain lions shot?

Thought it was hilarious that someone said pgc once recovered a piece of telemetry equipment that had been on a deer that someone harvested then attached the collar to a truck bumper where pgc apparently tracked it down. (LOL)

Just goes to show the great deal of repect hunters in our state have for the gameless commission.

[bowtruck]

that would be funny unless it your truck i guess
