65's Journey
This morning Fort Drum tagged doe 65 was harvested 11.9 miles from her birth site. She was captured on her birthday, June 7, in 2016.
This is reminder that our research is very regional in nature, and it is important to keep your eyes out for tagged deer throughout the North Country, and report them when you see them

We are still waiting on any deer that may not have been checked yet, but unofficially the harvest total is 75; 9 short of the record.
The weather has delayed our capture methods which is why I haven't had any info out about volunteering yet. If anyone is available to help tomorrow around noon I could use help for a few hours. Starting Sunday or Monday I will start needing regular volunteers.
If you are available on Saturday let me know in a message on FB. I should have info out for regular sign up tomorrow.

2 Captures tonight including 505 who is likely the mom of our fawns 065 and 069. Turn on audio to hear her loud snoring.
Have you ever heard a deer snore? This is from my capture of 501 last night. Make sure to turn up your audio.
