random question but one im sure we've all thought about. we are told to stay away from wintering animals, as our presence is enough to stress them past the point of surviving throughout the winter. I was wondering, when they fly a helicopter down low to count deer and to capture them for tests..... if that doesn't kill stressed wintering animals, what will outside of shooting them? when I come across wintering deer or elk while shed hunting , they never bolt scared for their lives as they do during fall hunt. the notice me and move 50 or a hundred yards away, sometimes not even that far. some of them just keep eating not giving a rats arse that im even there. but when the chopper flies in those animals run harder and faster than ive ever seen, forcing them into deep snows that they otherwise would have avoided. is it worth the risk? just an honest question im curious about.
