ok so i decided to try and do a 2012 deer herd census and it is TONS of work!!!! but here is what i came up with.....
Herd Census 2012
---------------------------
Total Bucks 7
(this is the only number that i feel is prob over 95% accurite, altho there COULD have only been 6 bucks im not SURE,slight possibility there were two spikes that were the same one)
Total Does 30
(this is an estamated number the actual number of does in pics was around 56 but i dont have an accurite way of telling them all apart ((the one doe has a scar on her side so i can tell her apart)) any ideas on better doe classification systems?)
Total Fawn 8
(also an guess... i know for sure there was a doe w triplets and one w twins and also there were several loners)
i spent several hours looking thru trail cam pics to get this data.... i need ideas to make it easier next year!!! i wish there was a way to catch every single deer and put a numbered tag on them!!!!
