You won’t find any deer inside this fenced area. This fence is put here to keep deer out. Researchers from the Department of Natural Resources use this site to study the effects of deer browse on the barrens plants. Take a look around inside and outside the fence. Do you notice any differences in the growth of the plants?
There is only one of Ranger Rick’s friends who would be able to get into this fenced area. He hunts at night for rats and mice in the fields. He builds his nest in barns, abandoned buildings and tree cavities. His eyes are fixed into his sockets so he has to move his whole head around to shift his gaze. Look at the Ranger Rick clue in the cache container for more information on which animal’s footprint stamp is in this geocache and stamp your passport.
