This book was released on 2016 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawns has declined in some areas of the southeastern U.S areas, and changing predator communities may complicate deer management scenarios. During 2013-15, I monitored survival of fawns and adult females on Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge (TRNWR), Louisiana. I determined cause-specific mortality and investigated variables influencing fawn survival. I used site-specific vital rates to model population trajectories and explored potential effects of changes in fawn and adult survival rates. Predation by black bear (Ursus americanus) was the greatest source of fawn mortality but appears to be partitioned with predation from other species. Fawn survival was positively correlated with birth mass and closer proximity to older reforestation sites but negatively correlated with proximity to young reforestation and cropland. Under current harvest guidelines and observed fawn survival rates, deer populations on TRNWR are sustainable, but reductions in female harvest could be considered if fawn survival decreases.

Download or read book White Tailed Deer Habitat written by Timothy Edward Fulbright and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-08 with total page 330 pages. 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: This bibliography was compiled to partially update and include references previously cited in the "Management of the White-tailed Deer in North America". Excluded from this revision are generally accounts with no apparent, new contribution to management, regional population data, annual kill reports, articles on diseases and parasites, taxonomic and physiologic studies, and mimeographed material not easily obtainable. Most of the main forestry and wildlife periodicals and the indexing publications such as Biological Abstracts, Wildlife Review, and Dissertation Abstracts are covered. Abbreviations used follow, in general, those approved for the Journal of Wildlife Management.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the life history, population dynamics, and ecological relationships of the Columbian white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginiarius leucurus) was conducted on the Washington mainland, Columbian White-tailed Deer National Wildlife Refuge during 1972-1973 to provide information for management of this endangered subspecies. A total of 18,077 observations of deer recorded during 213 morning and evening periods along two observation routes provided information concerning use of plant communities, activity, group composition, and sex and age structure. Detailed behavior observations were recorded during 25 morning and evening periods. Vegetation on the study area was categorized into five major community groupings of rush, thistle, grass, horsetail, and forest Deer were observed most often in those communities that provided both cover and forage. Communities providing forage without cover were most used where cover was adjacent. The population on the study area during the winter was estimated between 200 and 230 deer or one, deer per 3.4-3.9 hectares (one deer per 8.5-9.8 acres). A buck:doe:fawn ratio of 34:100:35 was calculated for November. Average group size of deer while grazing was 2.2 animals The major classification of group size throughout, the year was of single deer. Numbers of individuals within groups were highest during winter. Overt aggression between individuals was observed infrequently. Frequency of aggressive behavior was greatest during cold weather. Bucks were always dominant over does and fawns, and does were always dominant over fawns. Grazing was numerically the major activity observed. Deer grazed more and rested less in summer than during winter. Copulations may occur primarily at night. Home ranges of bucks were 1arger than those of does, and home ranges of yearlings were larger than those of adults. Average home range size of the Columbian white-tailed deer was smaller than that reported for other subspecies. Deer avoided close association with cattle and used those areas where cattle densities were lowest or where cattle were not present. Deer showed preference for improved pasture prior to introduction of cattle for seasonal grazing.
