| Clover trap and tranquilizer darts were used to capture black-tailed deer in Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreation Area in central California. This area has mild temperatures, open terrain free of cliffs and deep water, and deer that are tolerant of vehicles. Darting with non-barbiturate, immobilizing drug proved to be a safer, more selective, less expensive, and more efficient method than Clover trap. |
