sproul knows difference between a starving deer and a BIG FAT SASSY DOE..my pictures show no deer that look like they are starving..
cant you see it just excuse to get rid of deer there..yes, there may be too many for area, i am not saying that, i am saying i feel they could be trapped out by PENN STATE GIRLS and moved so hunters can hunt them next year..thats my whole bitch here..
as for cost, what did it cost to trap deer in wmu2g for 5 year study and come to conclusion we dont know how to hunt?they came up with money for that.. oh , i forgot , they are full of disease, yea right, you know who is full of it..
For every deer you trap and transfer you better bring about 32 acres of high quality deer habitat with it. It is the habitat and food each deer needs that are hard to move and there is no sense moving the deer if there isn’t the habitat and food for the deer to survive on.
Besides I have been involved in tranquilizing and moving deer in the past. Darn few of them actually survive the move.
The deer you are talking about in the study weren’t moved they were captured and then with minimal exposure to people they were collared and quickly released back into their home range. That is a mighty big difference to trapping, moving and relocating deer……that simply doesn’t work.
