Katy Gieder, biometrician and research manager with Vermont Fish and Wildlife, center, talks with Tunbridge residents from left, Bruce Mullen, David Russell, and Mark Chambers, while waiting for deer to be checked in at Tunbridge Firearms in Tunbridge, Vt., on youth and novice weekend Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022. It was a slow day with no deer checked in by 5 p.m., which Gieder attributed to the warm weather, which keeps them from moving around, and because of competition from other nearby check in stations. The store is one of 19 biological big game reporting stations in the state where data and samples are collected for studies on population, herd health, tick species, genetics and herd dispersal, and COVID 19.
