Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ecology of White-Tailed Deer in Illinois 3. An estimated 125-150 deer inhabited the Carbondale study area and formed 7 distinct herds. Some intermixing occurred between several groups during late-winter to early spring, but generally the herds remained separated from one another. Herd densities ranged from to deer/ ha. No overt signs of deer over-exploitation of habitat suggested that the population was lower than available habitat could support.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research is necessary to focus management of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the agricultural midwest, especially given the novel presence of chronic wasting disease in the region. Objectives were to: (1) examine the potential effects of weather and row-crop harvest on daily harvest of white-tailed deer by archery, and individual hunter variables (e.g., age, weapon preference, preference of hunting method) on individual hunter efficiency and success in 2 regions of Illinois (i.e., east-central and southern Illinois); (2) estimate white-tailed deer densities using direct (i.e., spotlighting deer from road transects) and indirect (i.e., counting pellet groups on randomly-placed transects) techniques across 3 study areas in the midwestern U.S.; (3) quantify sex, age, and season-specific survival and dispersal rates of white-tailed deer in east-central Illinois; and (4) assess habitat selection of white-tailed deer during the summer months in east-central Illinois.

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: Excerpt from Ecology of White-Tailed Deer in Illinois: Final Report W-63-R(si)31; July 1, 1986 Through June 30, 1989 Annual hunter harvests are often the deer manager's primary source of information regarding the herd, and there are a variety of techniques and methodologies for the analysis of harvest data. These methods, which range from Sophisticated mathematical treatments to simple intuitive interpretation, vary widely with respect to input requirements, output produced, and underlying assumptions. There is not general agreement as to which techniques are most applicable in given situations. In fact, there is a marked tendency for individual agencies to adopt and utilize a particular method (or variation thereof) to the exclusion of all others. Often, the accuracy and/or precision of these can only be assumed in the absence of verification with known data. Downing recognized this problem and suggested that: we need to look at a herd where we know what's happening in order to find out what data are most useful [for detecting what has happened or predicting what will In the Opinion of Davis and Winstead The failure of wildlife investigators to check population estimators against a known population is a deplorable situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of the ecology and behavior of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is necessary for proper conservation and management, especially in the face of emerging infectious diseases. The objectives of my study were to estimate juvenile survival, compare methods of quantifying contact rates (simultaneous GPS locations vs. proximity loggers [PLs]), and investigate the impact of group depopulation on contact rates of remnant adult female and juvenile deer. To achieve these goals, I captured, radiotracked, and monitored adult female and juvenile white-tailed deer in southern Illinois during 2011-2014. Survival analysis of juveniles revealed that main causes of mortality were capture related and predation, though some dead animals also showed signs of hemorrhagic disease. Comparison between simultaneous GPS locations and PLs showed evidence that deer coming within the general vicinity of each other are less likely to come in close contact if they are in neighboring social groups than deer whose home ranges overlap little, if at all. Finally, experimental removal of group members caused few if any remnant adult females to alter their contact rates or space-use, but caused remnant juveniles to have lower space-use fidelity compared to control deer and to increase their direct contact rates with other groups temporarily. Using these results, I discuss the large effects that severe weather events can have on juvenile survival, the importance of social structure on the potential transmission of disease agents among female and juvenile deer, and the difference between adult females and juvenile deer in their need for social interactions. My research provides ecologists, wildlife biologists, and managers with valuable information concerning the potential impacts of the environment, infectious diseases, and management strategies on white-tailed deer populations.

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: Exurban development is non-metropolitan, residential development characterized by a human population density and average property size intermediate between suburban and rural areas. The interspersion and juxtaposition of wildlife habitat, roads, and other forms of human development is the end result of exurbanization. Among the many potential consequences of exurban development is its influence on white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) ecology and deer-human conflict. Despite the expansion of exurban areas in North America, few studies have considered how human dwellings and their associated habitat modifications may affect space-use of deer. Further, no studies have explicitly examined the potential for deer-human conflict in exurbia. During October 2002-March 2004, 37 does were radiocollared (20 GPS, 17 VHF) in an exurban setting near Carbondale, Illinois. A mail survey was administered to 159 study area residents regarding their experiences with and attitudes towards deer as well as their preferences for deer population trend.

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.
