Well, as summer approaches it is dawning on me that this June, July and August aren’t going to be quite as exciting as the last 2 years because I won’t be darting deer at my study site in Maryland.  The bright side to that is my field work is done and I can finish getting my data analyzed and start pumping out my thesis in hopes of being out of grad school in December.  In light of not being able to chase big bucks all summer with my CO2 powered dart rifle, I will do a multi (and I mean alot) part series on my darting experiences over the last 2 summers.  I emailed out updates with pictures to friends during the course of the 2006 and 2007 summer and they enjoyed them…I’m sure you guys will too.  Don’t worry though, I’ll be mixing in plenty of other good stuff over the next couple of weeks if B&C whitetails bore you…:)
