It is impossible to discuss deer at all without talking about deer management, because there is there hardly a deer alive in America today that is not directly influenced by man. We control the water the deer drinks, the food that it eats, and the land that it lives on, and we regulate the manner, sex, and amount of deer harvested.

When all of these people get up the morning of opening day there is one thing that affects the way that they hunt. Every avid hunter knows that they have to base their hunting style off of the weather. The different factors of the weather such as the temperature, wind speed, barometric pressure, and precipitation changes the way the deer move and can either make or break a deer hunter’s season.

In the journal article “White-Tailed Deer as Keystone Species within Forest Habitats of Virginia” the authors, William J. McShea and John H. Rappole, go in-depth to how white-tailed Deer affect the abundance and distribution of vertebrate species in Virginia. The authors hypothesized that White-Tailed Deer influence the arrangement of winged creatures and warm blooded animals indirectly through changing of the natural surroundings and specifically through the utilization of shared nourishment sorts. The authors tested this hypothesis by testing four different areas in Virginia within the Shenandoah National Park, the National Zoo's Conservation and the Research Center in Front Royal. In these areas, a collector, which had a mast collector,

Hemorrhagic Disease of White-Tailed Deer is a phrase that describes an infection of either Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) and/or Blue Tongue Disease (BT). These two diseases are clinically and molecularly very similar. Since the symptoms of both diseases are indistinguishable molecular testing is needed to specifically identify these viruses. Both viruses are spread by biting midges in the Culcoides genus which is found in a majority of the US. Historically, there have been large outbreaks in the US and all over the world which has lead to economic losses of various degrees. With current expansion of these diseases vector, a lack of monitoring, and gap of knowledge about these diseases it is only a matter of time before a catastrophic

He could remember the sound of the trigger being pulled as the bullet flew through the air and missed the deer. He missed the shot his voice sounded like a flame going up. When he turned he found the deer had left.

As the time passed he didn't find

Ever since I was 10 one topic has always fascinated me, hunting. Even though I grew up in the city and have only gone hunting 3 times, I've always loved doing it. I’ve only ever got one deer, it was a doe. I got it the opening day for 2017 (Nov. 15).

Hunting is not form of conservation of the environment. According to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, “The white-tailed deer is the most abundant species of the deer family and is common in most of the U.S. and throughout Kentucky. In areas where they are not hunted or have limited hunting, abundant deer can damage crops and ornamental plantings and increase the potential for deer-vehicle collisions.” There are multiple other ways to control the flow and growth of deer population. Other options for control of deer are using repellants, scare tactics, and fencing. Repellants are not always effective when used by themselves but can be used with other substances to become effective. They’re usually recommended to be used on smaller
