University of Wisconsin-Madison deer researchers could only hope for cold temperatures and more snow so they could net and collar white-tailed deer, particularly bucks. Amanda Puype, a limited term employee with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, displayed two neck collars she and other members of a capture team affix to deer necks. Aside from a couple weeks of snow and cold, netting has been frustrating. The deer keep finding, and liking, natural stuff better than shelled corn and apples.
