1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Just slow down, make sure to really take your time

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: at don and dust.

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: We're smack dab in the middle of a peak deer

4
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: breeding season, which means they're going to be looking across streets,

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: particularly at pinch sections of the roadway where the forest

6
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: line is closest to the asphalt.

7
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: The deer population is rising really across the entire East

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: coast in Massachusetts.

9
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 2: Martin Fienn is a deer biologist with mass Wildlife. He

10
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: tells me that because their eyes are so far apart

11
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: the forest, mammals are good at picking up movement less

12
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: so with death perception, which is why they freeze in headlights.

13
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: In every aspect, we're trying to both increase the number

14
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: of hunters as well as try to increase the number

15
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: of deer that are taken by those hunters. So we

16
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: have opportunities like our Hunter show, the Harvest program, where

17
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: hunters can then donate additional deer that they take, which

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: really incentivizes those really successful hunters to take more and

19
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: more deer through the season.

20
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: The state is considering to expand the length of the

21
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: hunting season.

22
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: As a result.
