Quality Whitetails and segment on PA Management
Last night I was watching Quality Whitetails on Outdoor Channel. If you haven't seen the show, it's not all about hunting and killing but talking about managing your property for whitetails. A different perspective and some seemingly knowledgable guys.
What I thought was very interesting is when they went to the segment on the Radio Collar study that is being done in the woods of PA (I believe from Penn State) and they talked about all the research going in. From what I remember (as I was half asleep) they had caught and collared many does in an attempt to track harvest rates and survival rates. This was all done with GPS tools and they were able to track them 24/7.
Interesting Notes I heard was that not as many does are being killed as hunters want you to believe.
Does did not abandon their home range when pressure was one. They found the steepest parts of the terrain and waited it out there.
I believe this is going to be a continuing segment on the show.
Did anyone else catch this this week??
