Britt,

Thanks for the kind words!!  We film what we are doing each week and have time to film.  When we are collecting data on a project, we tend to be very busy weighing, measuring, recording, etc.  Our data collection sessions are usually not a pretty sight, and we don’t seem to slow down to mess with the camera while on those projects.  However, data collection is a very important topic, so we’ll try to remember to record that information when appropriate.  Until then, remember that estimating the age based on the lower jaw, an accurate body weight (be consistent and collect either all whole or gutted weights), gender, and antler size or lactation are the basics that everyone should collect to help manage their deer herd!  Trends in the average weight per age/gender class is an excellent indicator of the herd’s health and response to current habitat conditions.

Growing Deer together,

Grant
