Title: Ear Tags??
Post by: woodywsu on December 14, 2009, 01:21:37 PM: Does anybody know of a database or phone number to call into to find information on ear tags on deer? I have an ear tag here and would like to know something about it.

Post by: DOUBLELUNG on December 15, 2009, 10:41:05 AM: Where was it killed? I can probably point you to the right person, to at least know what you are talking about and get you to the person doing the study. If local to your Moses lake area, call deer research bio Woody Meyers at WDFW Spokane office, or District wildlife bio Rich Finger in the Ephrata office.

Post by: woodywsu on December 15, 2009, 11:39:40 AM: Tried both of them, I can't get a call back. Here's the situation: I work for Grant PUD down at Wanapum Dam as a biologist. On Saturday, someone dumped a very young buck off here at the dam and it has became quite the nuisance/pet. I relocated him to where he will survive while I try to find him a home. He is someone's pet, guarenteed. I will give him to a zoo if I don't here anything.
