‘Flying deer’ caught on camera Utah wildlife officials. Watch | Trending

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) shared a video of some flying deer. Yes, you read that right. However, these deer aren’t pulling Santa’s sleigh. Instead, biologs capture these animals with the help of a helicopter to place GPS collars on them. This is done to monitor their migration patterns. Deer fly through Utah sky. In the caption of the post, DWR informed, “These aren’t Santa’s flying reindeer! Each winter, our biologs capture and place GPS collars on approximately 1,200 deer throughout the state. They are also brought to a staging area where we perform health assessments before safely letting them go back into the wild. These important efforts help us monitor and learn about deer migration patterns.” Wrap up the year gone & gear up for 2024 with HT!
