[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5886598, member: 17"] Years ago, when GPS-collar research was fairly new, the group I worked with GPS-collared 7 deer, including one 3 1/2 year-old buck, a yearling buck, several does and two fawns. Back then, battery technology wasn't what it is today, so battery power for the collars were fairly limited. Basically, you could only get a certain number of positions stored before the batteries on the collar ran down. We wanted to see a fairly detailed pattern of what these deer were up to, so we set the collars to take a position every 20 minutes. This meant we would only get 3 1/2 months out of each collar. Of the 7 deer, over a 3 1/2 month period, none of them ever bedded in the same place twice. Not the does, not the fawns, not the bucks. [/QUOTE]
