My data collection was smooth but I had some difficulties as I could not access the site at night so I could not figure out animal activities during that time. I tried to take data at various times my data were shocking because I saw deer inside the field even with the fences on. Kayote was seen mostly in the morning but at that time no other animals were spotted. I have collect wheat data according to a specific sampling method, I have gone across the field (horizontally) to check if spikes of wheat and barley are missing or not and I will continue to take data that way. Also for wheat spike count, If some spikes are eaten I would consider that whole plot as damaged or eaten by animals. Now I will try to take data at different hour every day to see if I can find any changes.
See my comments on post 3 on your methods and on your small assignment 2. I highly recommend you don’t complete all of your sampling before you review and consider those comments and make some of the recommended comments. I am not sure that your hypothesis and study design make sense based on your small assignment 2 and your post 3.
