Make sure you scroll down to see the animated GIF at work, it's very cool. The article itself is also very informing. However, I picked out a morbid bit of info.
"The story of buck 5092 then took another interesting turn. This buck died January 2018. Post-mortem testing revealed that he was infected with CWD. (He did not test positive at initial capture.) We can't be certain whether he was infected prior to dispersing or if he became infected later. Did he contract CWD within his natal range? How many deer did he interact with on his journey? How many mineral licks did he visit? Do deer like this have an outsized role in the spread of CWD across the landscape? These are tough questions to answer, but they highlight the importance of understanding the dispersal process."
