Show Deer tagging in progress now Some 325 deer have been tagged to date, this winter. This phase of Utah's deer management manage-ment program is conducted annually an-nually by department of fish and game field men throughout the state. Animals are attracted attract-ed into the baited, net-cord single deer traps only when deep snows cover much of the natural food supply. Metal tags and vari-colored plastic streamers are placed in the ears of the animals before deer are released unharmed by the experience. Through field observation of deer carrying the colored streamers and return re-turn of the tag by hunters during dur-ing later seasons, this program contributes valuable information informa-tion necessary to better management man-agement of the state's deer herds. |
