Abstract:
Liver and kidney samples from white-tailed deer were collected during the 1992 and 1993 hunting seasons on the Russell Plantation, Macon County, AL and analyzed for mercury content. The mercury levels of the livers and kidneys of male and female deer did not have significant differences, and the mercury in the kidneys of young and old deer did not significantly differ. However, the mercury in the livers of younger deer was significantly lower than that of older deer.
