Be a Maine Deer Spy

A spotted fawn reaches up to a white-tailed doe mom.

Become a community scientist for the Deer Spy project by sharing your deer sightings! Volunteers are needed across the state and everyone can participate.

The data community scientists like you provide are used to increase confidence in our understanding of whitetail recruitment patterns and inform Maine's deer management. All you need to do when you see deer between August 1 and September 30, is make the following observations and submit them online or by mail:

Location
Date and time
The number of does (adult female deer with no antlers, with or without fawns)
The number of bucks (deer with antlers)
The number of fawns (young deer born this year, with or without a doe(s)).
