Working through a collaborative between Realtree.com and NC State, my first article for the Realtree website was posted this weekend. Part of my thesis research is examining brain abscesses among white-tailed deer, especially between my Maryland study site and Texas (I used the King Ranch as my TX study site).

Unfortunately, the pictures that accompanied the article did not carry over into the website format, but we are currently working on fixing that. Regardless, it was nice to see some visible fruit from my labor and get the ball rolling on this nice side project to my graduate research. Future articles will be discussing lunchtime strategies during the pre-rut, “South Texas Rodeo”, and early-season hunting strategies.

Let me know what you think about the article and by all means, email me and let me know if you have seen, or see, this condition in your deer herd in the future.
