Hunting Deer via Broadband
People have been hunting since time immemorial, yet, according to deer hunter Tom Brooks, "the elusive whitetail has many secrets yet to be revealed." To help hunters, wildlife managers and animal enthusiasts learn more about what deer actually do all day, Brooks set up cameras in a 1,500-acre ranch in Texas and streams real-time footage of whitetail deer over the Internet to subscribers. Cameras are mounted on towers, in fields and on the deer themselves. The deer-mounted cameras let you "see and hear what a buck sees and hears."
The Deer Channel records much of the material from the ten video feeds and is cataloguing it for analysis. Several universities are planning to use the archived footage and live streams for research and teaching purposes.
