Minnesota deer from Hennepin County given helicopter rides as research project begins
Published: , in Outdoor News
Research officials from the University of Minnesota and Three Rivers Park District affixed the deer with GPS radio collars, which will be used to monitor their movements year-round for two years. Researchers also took blood and fecal samples, as well as nasal and mouth swabs to test for SARS-CoV-2 (SCV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans. The deer were then released back into the wild, and in good condition.
