00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:02,000
JON RACHAEL, IDAHO DEPT.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
OF FISH AND GAME: WE'RE GOING 
TO GO OUT TODAY AND CATCH SOME

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,166
MULE DEER FAWNS FOR OUR WINTER 
MORTALITY STUDY.

4
00:00:06,166 --> 00:00:08,166
NARRATOR SUE NASS, FISH AND 
GAME PRODUCER: AT FIRST, IT

5
00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:10,100
SOUNDS LIKE SCIENTIFIC 
GIBBERISH TO TORY AND KATIE,

6
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:12,100
BUT THEY ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT 
JUST HOW FUN AND INTERESTING

7
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:13,333
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT CAN BE.

8
00:00:13,333 --> 00:00:15,533
RACHAEL: WE'RE GOING TO USE A 
HELICOPTER TO GO OUT AND FIND

9
00:00:15,533 --> 00:00:17,900
SOME MULE DEER FAWNS AND RUN 
THEM INTO THESE BIG LONG NETS

10
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:19,233
THAT WE'VE SET UP.

11
00:00:19,233 --> 00:00:20,233
GIRL 1: WILL THEY GET HURT?

12
00:00:20,233 --> 00:00:22,867
RACHAEL: OH NO THE NETS ARE 
DESIGNED TO FALL DOWN AS SOON

13
00:00:22,867 --> 00:00:25,533
AS THE DEER HIT THEM, AND, AND 
THEY'RE PRETTY TOUGH.

14
00:00:25,533 --> 00:00:27,800
THESE FAWNS ARE BIGGER THAN 
YOU THINK; IN FACT, MOST OF

15
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,800
THEM ARE BIGGER THAN YOU ARE.

16
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,633
GIRL 2: BIGGER THAN I AM, I 
THOUGHT THOSE LITTLE SPOTTED

17
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:34,433
FAWNS WERE PUNY.

18
00:00:34,433 --> 00:00:36,433
RACHAEL: WELL THEY WERE LAST 
SPRING WHEN THEY WERE BORN,

19
00:00:36,433 --> 00:00:38,533
BUT NOW IT'S SIX MONTHS LATER 
AND THEY MIGHT WEIGH UP TO

20
00:00:38,533 --> 00:00:39,500
EIGHTY OR NINETY POUNDS.

21
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:41,367
GIRL 1: WHAT DO YOU DO WITH 
THEM?

22
00:00:41,367 --> 00:00:44,066
RACHAEL: COME WITH ME, I'LL 
SHOW YOU.

23
00:00:44,066 --> 00:00:46,066
ARE YOU GUYS READY TO GO TO 
WORK?

24
00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:47,100
TOGETHER: US?

25
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:49,266
RACHAEL: SURE WE COULD USE ALL 
THE HELP WE CAN GET.

26
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:50,800
GIRLS TOGETHER: OKAY.

27
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,433
(HELICOPTER) GIRL 1: WILL THEY 
COME RIGHT DOWN THIS STRIP?

28
00:00:56,433 --> 00:00:59,200
RACHAEL: IT'S HARD TO SAY, 
DEER WILL PRETTY MUCH COME

29
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,266
WHICHEVER WAY THEY WANT TO SO.

30
00:01:01,266 --> 00:01:03,700
HE'S GOING TO TRY TO GUIDE 
THEM WITH THE HELICOPTER INTO

31
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:07,066
THE NET.

32
00:01:07,066 --> 00:01:09,100
GO GO GO!

33
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,900
LET'S GO TO WORK.

34
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:13,533
RACHAEL: OKAY HOLD ON TO THOSE 
FOUR LEGS OKAY; PUT YOUR HEAD

35
00:01:13,533 --> 00:01:18,266
RIGHT THERE, OKAY.

36
00:01:18,266 --> 00:01:20,633
THAT'S OKAY HOLD THAT, IF IT 
STARTS MOVING YOU PUSH YOUR

37
00:01:20,633 --> 00:01:23,800
HEAD DOWN AND JUST SQUEEZE ON 
TIGHT.

38
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:26,100
GIRL 2: WHAT'S THE COLLAR FOR?

39
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,734
RACHAEL: WELL WE'RE GOING TO 
USE THIS RADIO COLLAR TO TRACK

40
00:01:28,734 --> 00:01:33,000
WHERE THIS DEER MOVES, IT ALSO 
HAS A, A SIGNAL IN IT THAT

41
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,500
WILL TELL US IF IT STOPS 
MOVING AND IF IT STOPS MOVING

42
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,533
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WE'RE 
GOING TO KNOW THAT IT DIED AND

43
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:43,533
THEN WE CAN GO IN AND FIGURE 
OUT WHAT KILLED IT.

44
00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:48,367
OKAY WE'LL HOOK IT RIGHT HERE, 
AND KEEP THE TENSION ON THAT,

45
00:01:48,367 --> 00:01:49,800
LIFT IT UP.

46
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,433
LET'S SEE PULLEY IT OFF THE 
GROUND AND WHEN ITS CLEAR

47
00:01:54,433 --> 00:01:56,867
GIRLS CAN YOU READ THAT FOR 
ME?

48
00:01:56,867 --> 00:01:58,600
WHAT'S THAT SAY?

49
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,467
GIRL 1: EIGHTY.

50
00:01:59,467 --> 00:02:02,233
RACHAEL: EIGHTY POUNDS OKAY.

51
00:02:02,233 --> 00:02:04,533
GIRL 2: WHY ARE YOU WEIGHING 
IT?

52
00:02:04,533 --> 00:02:06,867
RACHAEL: WE'RE WEIGHING THE 
FAWNS BECAUSE IT GIVES US A

53
00:02:06,867 --> 00:02:09,266
PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT 
CONDITION THE WINTER RANGE IS

54
00:02:09,266 --> 00:02:10,600
IN.

55
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,700
RACHAEL: "ABOUT EIGHTY-SIX."

56
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,166
GIRL 1: WOW THAT DOES WEIGH 
MORE THAN ME!

57
00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:16,233
RACHAEL: IN FACT, THE WEIGHT 
OF THE FAWN IS A PRETTY GOOD

58
00:02:16,233 --> 00:02:18,333
INDICATOR OF WHETHER THIS 
FAWNS GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH

59
00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:19,600
THE WINTER OR NOT.

60
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,533
RACHAEL: HELICOPTER WE'RE 
READY FOR MORE.

61
00:02:29,533 --> 00:02:30,734
HELICOPTER PILOT: COPY.

62
00:02:30,734 --> 00:02:32,800
RACHAEL: EVERYBODY DOWN.

63
00:02:33,867 --> 00:02:36,633
NASS: KATIE AND TORY HAVE 
BECOME PART OF THE TEAM.

64
00:02:36,633 --> 00:02:38,166
GIRL 1: HERE THEY COME.

65
00:02:38,166 --> 00:02:41,000
GIRL 2: SHHHH NASS: CATCHING 
THE DEER, PROCESSING THE FAWN

66
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,533
AND LEARNING A LOT ABOUT 
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT.

67
00:02:49,066 --> 00:02:51,900
RACHAEL: OKAY I'M GOING TO GO 
AHEAD AND PUT THIS RADIO

68
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:55,333
COLLAR ON NOW.

69
00:02:55,333 --> 00:02:58,333
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY WE DO 
THIS?

70
00:02:58,333 --> 00:03:01,000
GIRL 2: SO YOU KEEP TRACK OF 
IT AND TELL IF IT DIED?

71
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,066
RACHAEL: RIGHT.

72
00:03:02,066 --> 00:03:03,700
ALL RIGHT ALMOST ON HER FEET.

73
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:11,367
GIRL 2: THEY'RE HUGE AND VERY 
STRONG.

74
00:03:11,367 --> 00:03:13,433
NASS: TWENTY-FIVE FAWNS ARE 
CAPTURED, COLLARED AND

75
00:03:13,433 --> 00:03:15,266
RELEASED.

76
00:03:15,266 --> 00:03:17,633
THESE ANIMALS WILL BE FOLLOWED 
THROUGHOUT THE WINTER AND

77
00:03:17,633 --> 00:03:20,166
EARLY SPRING TO TRACK HOW MANY 
SURVIVE.

78
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:22,867
GIRL 1: HOW DOES FINDING OUT 
WHAT KILLS A DEER HELP YOU

79
00:03:22,867 --> 00:03:23,900
MANAGE DEER?

80
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:26,633
RACHAEL: SOME PEOPLE THINK 
THAT PREDATORS ARE THE MAIN

81
00:03:26,633 --> 00:03:27,800
REASONS THAT FAWNS DIE.

82
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,000
AND SOMETIMES THAT'S TRUE, BUT 
WE'VE LEARNED FROM OUR

83
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,533
RESEARCH THAT SOMETIMES FAWNS 
ARE DYING FROM PREDATORS

84
00:03:32,533 --> 00:03:34,900
BECAUSE THEY'RE WEAK AND 
MALNOURISHED, AND THAT SOUNDS

85
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,700
LIKE A HABITAT PROBLEM, NOT A 
PREDATOR PROBLEM.

86
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:41,266
GIRL 2: IF IT'S A HABITAT 
PROBLEM, IT WOULD AFFECT THE

87
00:03:41,266 --> 00:03:43,800
CARRYING CAPACITY OF DEER 
RIGHT?

88
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,100
RACHAEL: WHOA YOU TWO REALLY 
DO KNOW YOUR STUFF.

89
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,333
SAY ARE YOU TWO THINKING OF 
BEING BIOLOGISTS SOME DAY?

90
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:51,333
GIRLS TOGETHER: YEAH!

91
00:03:51,333 --> 00:03:53,433
RACHAEL: WHAT DID YOU TWO 
LEARN ABOUT WILDLIFE

92
00:03:53,433 --> 00:03:54,533
MANAGEMENT TODAY?

93
00:03:54,533 --> 00:03:56,734
GIRL 1: WELL YOU GUYS HAVE TO 
GET UP REALLY EARLY.

94
00:03:56,734 --> 00:04:00,700
GIRL 2: IT'S COLD AND IT'S 
REALLY HARD WORK.

95
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:01,600
GIRLS TOGETHER: BUT IT'S VERY
