This book was released on 2004 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations have challenged deer managers in Missouri. So to improve deer management, our objectives were to the determine relationships of habitat characteristics and deer abundance and harvest vulnerability in Deer Management Units (DMUs) of Missouri, and deer abundance in Missouri state parks. We created a priori models relating habitat patterns such as cover, food, and human use models to abundance and vulnerability. In state parks, we found factors inside and outside parks influenced deer abundance, such as the amount and juxtaposition of cover within parks, agricultural resources or road densities around parks. These findings will improve deer management of parks by providing an understanding of specific habitat conditions both in parks and adjacent areas that influence deer abundance throughout Missouri. We found DMUs had higher deer abundance in landscapes with decreased proportions of public land, high habitat fragmentation, increased road density, or a combination of these. We expect DMUs with these habitats, mainly found in north Missouri, to have higher deer abundance or greater potential for population growth. For our final objective, we found deer were less vulnerable in DMUs with increased road densities and increased availability of public land. Therefore, it will be easier to manage deer populations in DMUs with more roads and public land because deer are more vulnerable to harvest. But it might be challenging for managers to maintain or reduce deer populations in DMUs with increased urban/suburban areas or less public land due to decreased vulnerability.

This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, a cadre of researchers set out to determine what combination of supplemental or natural nutrition and white-tailed deer population density would produce the largest antlers on bucks without harming vegetation. They would come to call this combination “the sweet spot.” Over the course of their 15-year experiment, conducted through the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University–Kingsville, Timothy E. Fulbright, Charles A. DeYoung, David G. Hewitt, Don A. Draeger, and 25 graduate students tracked the effects of deer density and enhanced versus natural nutrition on vegetation conditions. Through wet years and dry, in a semiarid environment with frequent droughts, they observed deer nutrition and food habits and analyzed population dynamics. Containing the results of this landmark, longitudinal study, in keeping with the Kleberg Institute’s mission, this volume provides science-based information for enhancing the conservation and management of Texas wildlife. Advanced White-Tailed Deer Management: The Nutrition–Population Density Sweet Spot presents this critical research for the first time as a reference for hunters, landowners, wildlife managers, and all those who work closely with white-tailed deer populations. It explains the findings of the Comanche-Faith Project and the implications of these findings for white-tailed deer ecology and management throughout the range of the species with the goal of improving management.

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.

Book excerpt: Urban Deer Havens consists of a thorough examination of selected cervid (deer) species that are known to inhabit urban communities in the United States. The deer species that are included in this presentation consisted of white-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus), Key deer (O. v. clavium), moose (Alces alces), elk (Cervus elaphus), mule (Odocoileus hemionus), and black-tailed deer (O. h. columbianus). This book is the first attempt to examine the similarities and differences in those factors that allow the selected cervids to exist and thrive in urban habitats. This information has never been collected, collated, reviewed, and published under one cover document. Yet, all five are known to inhabit urban communities within their geographic range. The lack of information concerning several important examples of urban cervids in conjunction with a proliferation of information on white-tailed deer only is an incomplete and biased presentation. This book is the first comprehensive source of information on urban deer management, which includes a broad assemblage of urban cervids. The overall objective of this book is to provide a more holistic examination of urban cervids. For example, it examines the similarities and differences of the environmental impacts, management strategies, and human dimensions considerations concerning urban cervids in general, and using specific examples. Urban Deer Havens features four chapters that include: Urban deer census techniques and population dynamics Comprehensive tables that review urban community deer management plans National and state-wide estimates the five selected cervids Laws and regulations concerning urban deer Lethal and nonlethal management options for managing deer Steps for managing urban deer populations Examples of urban deer management efforts

This book was released on 2018 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 of this dissertation examines survival of subadult male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in southern Delaware. Increasing male age structure in white-tailed deer populations has become an important objective for many state managers and private landowners seeking to improve hunter satisfaction while maintaining appropriate deer densities. Limiting mortality in the subadult age class is often the primary consideration, and regional differences in climate, habitat, regulations, and hunter behavior complicate understanding of how specific factors influence the risk of mortality. I used Cox proportional hazard modeling to examine the effects of mean distance to road, mean distance to habitat edge, dispersal behaviors, and landownership on the risk of mortality of a collared population of subadult males (n = 61) in Sussex County, Delaware, USA. Annual survival averaged 0.60 (95% confidence interval = 0.49 – 0.73), with hunter harvest accounting for 79% of all mortalities. The best approximating supported model for risk of mortality included covariates for landownership (public versus private; P
