Understood!

I saw a doe with a orange collar on hwy 10 about 3 miles east of Abbeville this morning around 515 a.m.

Here is an excerpt from an article on the qdma website about some collared deer in Alabama. I'm assuming these are the same deer......
27% – The difference between daylight and night movements of 19 bucks and 19 does on weekends after the start of rifle season in Alabama. Kevyn Wiskirchen of Auburn University tracked the GPS-collared deer on four study sites, two of which are WMAs. Though daylight movement was 27 percent less than night movements on weekends, the rates for day and night were essentially the same on weekdays during the same period. In fact, the lowest point of overall weekly deer movement rates was immediately following weekends in hunting season. The highest? Thursdays and Fridays before the hunters returned in force. Go ahead now and request vacation days from work on every Thursday this fall.

Any update on this?

How many bucks did you tag in Pickens County (Gordo) ?
Another buck showed up at my farm with ear tags. He's an 8 point. Picture is blurry so we can't see the number. We had number 22 show up last year. Was wondering he he turned into an 8 point. No collar now.

We collared a total of 11 bucks in Pickens County. Based upon the information that I have right in front of me, 5 of those animals are known to be dead. That means that there are 6 that could possibly still be alive, and some of those may have been wearing a collar that has since fallen off. WE also likely ear-tagged a few more buck fawns that were accidentally darted as does. These animals could now be what you described.

Sorry that I don't have more detailed information for you.

Steve, question were these deer tag during deer season, or before . I hunt Barber wma would or could it effect the hunt.the deer movement.

The deer were all captured and tagged several years ago, and their behavior during deer season should not have been affected in any way.

Update?

I'm pretty sure that I already did this, but below are links to the two student theses using data collected from the radio-collared deer (FYI...ADCNR funded this study).

Todd Jacobsen's thesis

Kevyn Wiskirchen's thesis

I guess we need to pass on the collars

Gotta be a good thing!!!

May I ask why you don't use Bam ??? I wouldn't use Telazol an d Xylazine if you gave it to me Just wondering why you use this Thankyou

I saw a doe with a collar in Chambers County around 93-94

What town Morris I'll send this info to my buddy in charge of that gig..

I may have missed it But why are yall using Telazol and Xylazine to dart deer Just wondering about that thanks in advance ??

thats what I asked. BAM is 1000% better than that. Rompum(Xyalzine) can, and will cause heart damage in darted deer, esp if they are agitated at all.
