Title: Collared deer in 454
Post by: ljsommer on December 24, 2018, 07:18:01 PM: I keep trying to upload a picture but this forum is so buggy with that and it keeps going to a white screen anytime I try. Frustrating.

Anyway, on a capture last week I got a large deer with a very visible collar with a black device attached. Anyone heard of that before?

Why do poachers love them?

:yeah: We've seen quite a few elk and deer in 653 and 454 with collars. It's part of their predator/prey study.

I think poachers love any deer weather it’s collared or cardboard :chuckle:

That, and the collar makes them stand out in the woods. Notice the OP stated that it was very visible. A noteworthy portion of these deer in RT studies are lost to poaching during the course of a study. Motor vehicles and predators make up the majority of the losses many times.

Post by: Jonathan_S on December 28, 2018, 12:44:56 PM: I just saw a collared doe in 117 the other day. Not sure how many poachers were proactive and capable enough to locate a deer via telemetry. Hoping it's a small number
