DNR interns Susan Hahn, Alix Marcoux, and Meghan Dinkins and graduate student Carolin Humpal all live and work together in Camp Ripley. They're among 12 interns working on a deer study that, over the past 11 years, has lured more than 100 interns from 25 states. It attracts wildlife management graduate students like a tavern offering free pizza and pitchers. Without the interns, says Glenn DelGiudice, a DNR wildlife researcher conducting the study, the DNR couldn't have conducted such a large study. And the more comprehensive the study, the better the information it produces.
