Grant for faculty enrichment The Seby B.

Deer hunt to benefit science department; ecology, biology students to collect data In an effort to utilize an available resource and promote the scientific management of the greatest North American game species, the Whitetail Deer, Odocileus virginianas, Chowan College will sponsor a management hunt October 27-28, 1995. Biology majors, and ail students enrolled in ecology classes at the college, will assist the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (District 1) in the collection of scientific data on the local deer herd. Gilbert Tripp, professor of biology and an avid hunter and outdoorsman, will direct the students in their research. David Rowe, District 1 Wildlife Biologist of northeastern North Carolina, will dissect a deer in a classroom setting to allow ecology and biology students the opportunity to gather pertinent data relative to the deer’s age, body fat content and reproductive rate. The data collected by the Chowan students and wildlife biologists will be forwarded to the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission for consideration when determining hunting season dates and territorial bag limits. The hunt will be held in the historically game rich section of northeastern North Carolina, commonly known as the Roanoke-Chowan area in tribute to the two large rivers which border the counties of Hertford, Gates, Bertie and Northampton. More than 50 local landowners and support ers of Chowan College have agreed to provide at least 20,000 acres of private land for the weekend of controlled hunting. Either the landowner or his representative will serve as the hunter’s host guide. The dates selected for the management hunt are in the prime pre-rut period to offer the best opportunity for calling (rattling and grunting). Hunters may choose bow and arrow, black powder or modern firearms and will have a choice of stand or still hunting. Hunting dogs will not be used for the two-day hunt. The entry fee of $200 includes trespass fees, liability insurance and guide service, as well as a luncheon to begin the hunt and the awards banquet the following evening. The proceeds of the hunt will be used to supplement the budget of the college’s Depart ment of Science.
