The goal of this collaborative effort is to better understand when and where eagles and other wildlife scavenge gut piles and other deer-harvested remains across New York State and the broader northeastern U.S.. By setting up motion-activated trail cameras on gut piles during normal hunting activities, hunters help us learn which species visit, when they show up, and how often they scavenge—patterns that can vary with location, habitat, timing, and weather. Hunter involvement is essential to this project, because it provides real-world data from gut piles as they occur on the landscape, and allows us to piece together the bigger picture from a larger area across the state.
