Default RE: Radio tracking deer studies

ORIGINAL: PA Hardwoods

Yes Penn State University has done quite a few radio tracking studies for the PA Game Commission in the past years. They even did a hunter study where they had hunters with GPS's and tracked how far Hunters went off into the woods and were able to compare where the hunters were and where the majority of the deer were. Very interesting findings.

Here is a link to some of the research projects done by PSU. http://pacfwru.cas.psu.edu/
I also understood at Penn State they also allowed people into their penned deer habitat and tracked them via electronics and watched as the mature animals skirted the people whom never saw them. Somehow they were able to watch the electronics on a monitor or something like that. I don't remember where I got the information so it could be total bunk.
