The Wildlife Science Center graciously donated some excess roadkill deer to the Center on Saturday October 7th. Vermilion Community College volunteers Damon Haan and Craig Merriman drove to the cities and picked up the deer. On Sunday October 8th, Vermilion Student, Jason Ziburski assisted the Wolf Curator with gutting the carcasses and storing the remains in the 2 chest freezers at the Center. They put 9 of the 14 deer in the freezer, one deer was fed to the pack even though there was a Saturday night "What's for Dinner" program, two deer were hung from a two-by four in the shaded area on the North side of the building for the 10/11 and 10/16 feeding. The two remaining deer were taken to a remote location east of Ely for local wildlife to scavenge.
