Awww what a great sign that summer is on the way! Enjoy the outdoors!
Snapshot Wisconsin is a volunteer trail camera monitoring project that allows the DNR to collect millions of wildlife images and use them as data for making management decisions. White-tailed deer are the most common species detected by the network of trail cameras, with more than 7.5 million images of deer captured over the past 11 years, including Snapshot’s 100millionth photo last summer. Information about each animal captured by the cameras becomes part of the dataset. You can explore the data using an interactive tool called the Data Dashboard: http://datadashboard.snapshotwisconsin.org
In the spring, the cameras occasionally detect tender moments such as this one of a doe licking her young fawn in Rusk County.
