it is their hearing you have to watch for. They can hear a friggin pin drop... and pooof they off
or they get use to "human" traffic.... like they know the trail in the woods people are walking on it. you take one step off, they are off running for their life
i so hate deer, you can get them to trust people tho. There is a deer park a few hours away where you can hand feed them and pet them.
Hey you said you worked with deer. you ever have a problem with CWD? minnesota is getting fucked over hard by it (like every fucking year)
some counties have salt lick bans and such. you cant bait (hunting) here but you can attract them to an area. Which is what DNR are trying to avoid so it doesnt spread
When we caught and tagged them it was scent which usually gave us away, their smell is amazing.
Also from the time the net would release to catching them (10' fall) they would be 20' away.
thats true, they can smell great. I mean they are prey animals
bears can smell great too tho, wtf do i know
I suppose it is more of environmental awareness, and people do stink
I think smell is just an overall useful skill for a lot of animals. It lets you detect predators, prey, and friends from a distance and even long after they're gone.
Supposedly it's also the closet sense tired to human memory. Smells tend to stick with you forever.
Not yet, whenever one dies got to cut the head off and send it to lab. So far so good.
yeah, i cant find a decent map... but i thought it was way worse. Only seems to be a dozen or so counties
Oh its a worrysome thing for anyone raising deer. Thus why the head is sent off everytime something happens.
