It&#8217;s termed dispersal.  When deer reach an age about sexual maturity at about one year old, they often make a rapid long distance movement.  And what I found is that they can move up to 200 kilometers and this might help explain the geographic spread of disease in Saskatchewan of chronic wasting disease.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNicole Skeleton tracked the movements of young deer by fitting them with radio collars.  She found  the greatest dispersal began in the month of June.  She also observed deer moving the further distance seemed to come from more fragmented habitats.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to the <b>Canadian Institutes for Health Research.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY,<br \/>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca\">Canadian Institutes of Health Research<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/cihr.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02009-05-21<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deer infected with <b>chronic wasting disease<\/b> were first found in Saskatchewan in the year 2000.
