white-tailed deer

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has released proposed regulations for the 2024-2025 wolf trapping season. West central Montana hunters enjoyed a robust start to the big game general hunting season this weekend.

Wildlife managers have decided to increase white-tailed deer hunting licenses in the Flathead Valley. The decision is in response to the area’s first detection of Chronic Wasting Disease earlier this week.

"How's life? Are you liking life okay? Are you aware that you're living a really unusual life for a deer? I just got really curious because you can’t ask a deer how it’s feeling. So I thought I’d ask you guys and see if you had some insights."

I have the greatest opportunity to observe the phenology of the ever-present white-tailed deer. White-tailed deer are delightful to watch as they graze in the meadow in spring and summer, gather around a fallen spruce to munch on sweet lichens, or leap over fallen logs, their white fluffy tails waving like flags.

They’re in my yard, in a yard two blocks away, or on someone’s front porch chewing pumpkins. It’s rare that I take my daily four-mile trek without seeing these white-tailed wonders, often grazing near the sidewalk, seemingly unafraid.

Studies on white-tailed deer in Pennsylvania and Ontario offer evidence that the mammals are a reservoir for the coronavirus. What are the implications for the course of SARS-CoV-2?
