This buck was caught staring at the ‘Safety Zone – No Hunting’ sign by an infrared triggered motion camera used by Arnold Engineering Development Center Conservation to assist in compiling its annual deer census. According to Mike Black, Aerospace Testing Alliance restoration ecologist, there are approximately 20 cameras installed at various locations in the wooded areas of the base which assist in estimating deer density, buck-to-doe ratios and fawn recruitment rates. This information, along with the data recorded by hunters, is used to set harvest guidelines to regulate the deer herd.
