Two hundred sixty-two mule deer fawns were tagged along the Hanford Reservation reaches of the Columbia River from 1969 to 1974. Twenty tags were returned through 1974. Four tagged animals, all bucks, were killed more than 20 miles from their place of tagging, and one of them was killed 70 miles away. Without tagging of fawns, dispersals would have been undetected.
