1. The Place

The opening “Place” post is the longest, but broken up topically. I recommend the first page because it gives quick background on the deer and the place. The geopolitical and hydrological sections are probably of most interest to people who know or have an interest in the area. The section on how the deer use the property lays out in more detail the setting in which all the deer encounters occur. It’s probably at least worth a skim of the photos and videos of that section. Link to the start of the post is above. Link to different sections, below.

The Geopolitical Place (built environment, GMU, range)
