Teah Nauman’s research has been able to identify a test for detecting commercial baits for white-tailed deer in the field by looking at the reaction of acetic acid with sodium bicarbonate.   However, analysis of data from deer feces has not proven to be as transparent. Even with the use of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and Mass Spectroscopy, Teah has not been able to see a difference in the chemical composition of feces produced by white-tailed deer that have been given commercial bait in comparison to deer that have not.
