It is interesting, and it does seem that they (Researchers) have finally discovered that all deer in PA do not live in the same manner. It makes me wonder if any of them ever hunted deer. Most of the "Amazing discoveries" are pretty much common knowledge with country boys. The last 20 or more years research has been done mainly on male racked deer. I always considered this kind of backwards. The buck's mortality starts when he is still a button running with the does. I wish them luck in what they are doing because it seems they are serious about the studies. I read through quickly, but did not see one reference to "Quality deer". As soon as I see the words "Quality" and "Deer" in the same sentence, I am done reading.
What did you think of the little topo maps? Get some and hike in a new area and see how close you came to finding a buck hangout just by mapping. It is really a lot of fun.
