The deer looked up from his
' favorite food patch and stared
with amazement at the Intruder.
The newioomer, uiwisaUy large
ror a deerin eastern North Caro
lina, was obviously a white-tailed
deer, but the normally snow
white tail was a brilliant red!
As the strange creature step
ped into the sunlight, a shiny
metal tag gleamed on his ear.
A gentle breeze brought the
scent of the red-tailed deer to
the native, reassuring him that
this was a deer after all. Side
by side, they fed in the green
rye that covered the pasture
that extended through the bog.
As he fed In the lush grass,
the newcomer wondered about
the confusion of the last few
days, during which he had been
trapped on the snow-covered
Wisconslin deer farm, carried
1200 miles In the back of a truck,
and unloaded in the long-leaf
pine on the Croatan National
Forest near Maysville.
Before bis captors had releas
ed him, they had weighed him,
attached a metal tag to his ear,
and finally, just before releas
ing him, they had sprayed his
tail with a bright red dye. Set
tling down to his meal in the
pasture, these things were for
gotten as he nibbled at the rye.
Elsewhere, nine other Wis
consin deer were also adjusting
themselves to a new life in North
Carolina. On January 6, the N.
C. Wildlife Resources Commis
sion released ten deer, five on
the Croatan National Forest and
five at the Holly Shelter Wild
life Management Area.
These deer were released in an
effort to improve the breeding
stock of the deer herd that al
ready roams the 16,200 acre^of
the Croatan National Forest that
is cooperatively managed for
Wildlife by the Wildlife Resour
ces Commission and the XJ.' S.
Forest Service, and the deer on
the 48,470 acre Holly Shelter re
fuge. * '
introduction ox Wisconsin deer
to eastern North Carolina Is only
one o<f the things that the Com
mission is doing In its attempt
to provide better deer hunting’
In the Coasted .Wain.
After the deer have been
weighed, they are ear-tagged to
provide positive identification
fatter. Immediately before the
deer are released, a game biolo
gists sprays the tail of the deer
with a red dye to aid in recogni
tion.
Slightly belligerent, this year
ling fawn surveys his new home
In the Crtetam National Forest.
Tear-old Wisconsin deer often
outweigh much older North
Carolina, deer, and It Is hoped
that their presence will Improve
the local breeding stock.
