Their work focused on fawn captures, a key part of understanding mule deer survival, reproduction, genetics, and how harsh or mild winters impact the herd. They explain how collared adult does, implant transmitters, satellite location \u201cclusters,\u201d and telemetry help researchers locate birth sites and newborn fawns. Once found, each fawn is carefully processed for data like weight, measurements, and genetic samples before being safely returned. Tuesday brought a tough challenge with doe 338, who was believed to be carrying rare triplets. A premature VIT release led to a long, cold, steep hike, but with updated data and help from Ollin Company\u2019s Starlink setup, the team eventually found and processed one fawn later confirmed as hers. Wednesday went more smoothly, with Joey helping process a set of twins after a clearer VIT signal and birth site. The episode also highlights  Ollin Company\u2019s live social coverage and the bigger picture of the Monteith Shop\u2019s research, which has been tracking mule deer in the region since 2013. Thank you to Ollin for the fantastic coverage.&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Echoes of the Tracks: MFF podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.muleyfanatic.org\/podcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41672835\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/203034640"}
