The following are the projects
which the CDA Project Committee
and Board of Directors have chosen
to fund for the 2014-2015 year.
#001-14 Carson River Deer Herd
Study - $9,500
This study is a continuation of an
existing study which will delineate
current distribution, migration patterns and mortality factors affecting
this herd (X8) through the use of
GPS collars. Several collars were lost
or failed, resulting in lower numbers
of deer for this population study.
These funds will be used to refurbish
collars and re-collar more deer.
