I was watching North American Whitetail on the Outdoor channel today and they had a segment with Dr. James Kroll on studying the antler growth of bucks. The deer in the study had ear tags but to catch them they had to chase them with a helicopter, shoot them with a net, then chase them with 4-wheelers to stop them and collect data. Although the deer had ear tags they sure didnt seem to be close to tame.
Youve got to get scientific information somehow an ear tag is just the easiest way to keep track of the deer you study. Whats next, boycotting magazines and outdoor shows that report the findings of studies done on these deer?
