During the winters of 1985- 86 it is the intent of the ministry to capture 25 animals in baited cages. These animals will be fitted with radio collars and their movements tracked for up to three years. Some of the deer will be tracked continuously during both the summer and winter months in order to identify daily activities. Daily and monthly fixes on animal locations will be obtained throughout the year in order to identify migration patterns and habitat utilization. Should an animal die, the radio collar will identify this immediately and cause of death can be determined right away. "Previously this ministry has placed the emphasis on enforcing legislation to control poaching and dog predation, managing the legal harvest and en- couraging the maintenance of existing habitat in known wintering areas," said Wingham District Manager Andy Houser. "This positive approach, working with the local people, will provide us with a better understanding of the deer population while helping to ensure that Huron County will always have deer."
