‘The idea is to get as large a sample size as we can’: Deer check station to be run by Sault College students on St. Joseph Island next month
Sault College instructor Greg Cull is encouraging area deer hunters to attend a check station on St. Joseph Island next month.
Harvest data includes deer weights, age, sex, antler beam diameter, number of points, condition of deer and general location of harvest. Cull says this information will be shared with the local Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry biologist and will assist in setting the 2024 Deer Harvest Quota allocation for those Wildlife Management Units.
Cull noted that the ministry can also use the data to find out more about their nutritional status and the condition that the deer are in. “It’s a great hands-on project for them,” he said. “They can put that work on their resumes and can go into an interview saying they have hands-on experience dealing with hunters coming in, collecting biological information, and summarizing and presenting that data to a local game and fish club.”
