Research Project:
TESTS OF A TRAPPING-HANDLING SYSTEM FOR DEER AND OTHER WILD UNGULATES
Project Number: 6205-32000-027-03
Project Type:
Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jul 01, 2003
End Date: Jun 30, 2008
Objective:
The objective of this cooperative research project is to test the ARS-developed deer trapping and handling system under field conditions with particular emphasis on determining suitability of the system for trapping exotic ungulates, especially axis deer.
Approach:
The trapping-handling system will be installed in a pasture mutually agreed upon by the cooperators. The system will be evaluated periodically as to effectiveness, safety, and practicality of trapping and handling both native white-tailed and the much larger exotic axis deer. The reliability of construction and durability will be assessed as well.
