This book was released on 1972 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the behavioral ecology of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was conducted in the Mississippi River flood plain on the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge, Wisconsin, during the months of August, September, and October of 1971. Radiotelemetry was used to determine movement patterns. The average home range of the three does that were collared was 118 acres, which is considerably smaller than most other studies have indicated. The home ranges were only slightly oblong and not much elongated as has been reported by other researchers. The average activity radius for the three does had an arithmetic mean of 843 feet and the individual average activity radius was found to vary directly with the size of the home range. The home ranges found in this study, and others, were used in an attempt to develop the relation between population density and home range size. Diel movement patterns were found to consist of four distinct periods: 1) inactivity or bedding from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; 2) concealed movement from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.; 3) unrestricted movement from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.; and 4) concealed movement from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. No correlation was found between the rather uniform weather conditions existing during the study period and changes in deer movement as measured by daily average activity radius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Wildlife Society Outstanding Edited Book Award for 2013! Winner of the Texas Chapter of The Wildlife Society Outstanding Book Award for 2011! Winner of a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award for 2011! Biology and Management of White-tailed Deer organizes and presents information on the most studied large mammal species in the world. The book covers the evolutionary history of the species, its anatomy, physiology, and nutrition, population dynamics, and ecology across its vast range (from central Canada through northern South America). The book then discusses the history of management of white-tailed deer, beginning with early Native Americans and progressing through management by Europeans and examining population lows in the early 1900s, restocking efforts through the mid 1900s, and recent, overabundant populations that are becoming difficult to manage in many areas. Features: Co-published with the Quality Deer Management Association Compiles valuable information for white-tailed deer enthusiasts, managers, and biologists Written by an authoritative author team from diverse backgrounds Integrates white-tailed deer biology and management into a single volume Provides a thorough treatment of white-tailed deer antler biology Includes downloadable resources with color images The backbone of many state wildlife management agencies' policies and a featured hunting species through much of their range, white-tailed deer are an important species ecologically, socially, and scientifically in most areas of North America. Highly adaptable and now living in close proximity to humans in many areas, white-tailed deer are both the face of nature and the source of conflict with motorists, home-owners, and agricultural producers. Capturing the diverse aspects of white-tailed deer research, Biology and Management of White-tailed Deer is a reflection of the resources invested in the study of the species’ effects on ecosystems, predator-prey dynamics, population regulation, foraging behavior, and browser physiology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original, 2006 edition of Timothy Edward Fulbright and J. Alfonso Ortega-S.’s White-Tailed Deer Habitat: Ecology and Management on Rangelands was hailed as “a splendid reference for the classroom and those who make their living from wildlife and the land” and as “filling a niche that is not currently approached in the literature.” In this second, full-color edition, revised and expanded to include the entire western United States and northern Mexico, Fulbright and Ortega-S. provide a carefully reasoned synthesis of ecological and range management principles that incorporates rangeland vegetation management and the impact of crops, livestock, predation, and population density within the context of the arid and semiarid habitats of this broad region. As landowners look to hunting as a source of income and to the other benefits of managing for wildlife, the clear presentation of the up-to-date research gathered in this book will aid their efforts. Essential points covered in this new edition include: White-tailed deer habitat requirements Nutritional needs of White-tailed deer Carrying capacity Habitat management Hunting Focused across political borders and written with an understanding of environments where periodic drought punctuates long-term weather patterns, this revised and expanded edition of White-Tailed Deer Habitat: Ecology and Management on Rangelands will aid landowners, researchers, and naturalists in their efforts to integrate land management and use with sound ecological practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of the last century, range management meant managing land for livestock. How well a landowner grew the grass that cattle ate was the best measure of success. In this century, landowners look to hunting and wildlife viewing for income; rangeland is now also wildlife habitat, and they are managing their land not just for cattle but also for wildlife, most notably deer and quail. Unlike other books on white-tailed deer in places where rainfall is relatively high and the environment stable, this book takes an ecological approach to deer management in the semiarid lands of Oklahoma, Texas, and northern Mexico. These are the least productive of white-tail habitats, where periodic drought punctuates long-term weather patterns. The book's focus on this landscape across political borders is one of its original and lasting contributions. Another is its contention that good management is based on ecological principles that guide the manager's thinking about: Habitat Requirements of White-Tailed Deer White-Tailed Deer Nutrition Carrying Capacity Habitat Manipulation Predators Hunting Timothy Edward Fulbright is a Regents Professor and the Meadows Professor in Semiarid Land Ecology at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted using radio telemetry to evaluate distribution, movements, activity, and habitat use by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on two areas along the lower Yellowstone River in eastern Montana during summer 1982 and 1983 and winter 1984. Deer distribution centered on river bottomlands, though some deer made daily or seasonal movements to adjacent uplands on the Intake area. Deer movements were short and restricted to riparian cover during the day, but increased and extended to agricultural fields up to 2.5 km from cover at night. Movement to and use of fields increased through summer and from summer to winter and appeared greater on the Intake than Elk Island study area. Well defined peaks in deer activity and movement occurred at sunrise and sunset; lesser peaks occurred near midnight and noon. Peak use of agricultural fields occurred from 1-2 hours after sunset until midnight. Seasonal minimum convex polygon home range sizes for individual deer varied from 0.29 km^2 to 10.0 km^2. Adult females had the smallest home ranges, averaging 0.87 km^2 in summer and 1.8 km^2 in winter. Total (24-hour) home range size varied by sex and age of the deer, season, and study area. Home ranges based only on daytime relocations averaged half as large as total home ranges in summer and 28% of the total in winter and did not differ between seasons and study areas. Among riparian cover types, deer selected for mid-to-late seral communities (mature cottonwood, shrub, green ash, and mature willow) with tall dense cover; grasslands were avoided. Among croplands, deer preferred alfalfa in summer and ungrazed alfalfa, sugar beets, and winter wheat in winter. Differences in selection and use of crops between study areas and seasons were related to availability influenced by cropping, harvest, and post-harvest grazing and field treatment practices. Overall, natural riparian cover and agricultural croplands were the two major components of deer habitat. These combined with topography and physiography of the river valley, and other land use and operational practices to influence deer distribution movements and home range size, activity, and use of specific cover types. --Abstract.
