Rates of defecation of black-tailed deer in the Tillamook Burn of western Oregon were estimated using counts of groups of fecal
pellets in 1959 and 1960. A 340-acre enclosure was divided into eight range types on the basis of depth of soil, aspect, and elevation. The estimated rates of defecation...
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...
Field studies were conducted during January, February and March of
1976 and 1977 to evaluate the effects of a prescribed burning program on
mule deer at Lava Beds National Monument. Visual observation, radio-telemetry
and pellet-group plots were utilized to investigate deer distribution,
food habits, movement patterns and behavioral responses to...
The specific objectives of the study were to determine the
sociological and economic considerations of the private landowners
and managers in Grant County, Oregon regarding their tolerances
of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus)and deer hunters on their properties,
determine the attitudes of hunters who hunted deer in Grant
County in 1973...
Transferrin of Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus
hemionus columbianus) displayed two types of polymorphism. One
type involved differences in sialic acid content. The nature of the
other polymorphism is not known. A hypothesis for three codominant
alleles at a common locus was proposed and tested by using the
Hardy-Weinberg Principle. The...
Natality of black-tailed deer in McDonald State Forest was determined by examination of 147 reproductive tracts. Yearlings collected from November of 1968 to May of 1970 had an average of 0.79 corpora lutea per doe, and adults 1.76 corpora lutea per doe. Yearlings collected during the spring in 1969 and...
An important segment of outdoor recreational activity in
eastern Oregon is based on the harvest of deer. The deer population
can be altered in two ways. Rangeland, which provides feed and
cover for deer, can be improved through public or private investments
or hunting regulations can be changed. This study...
A population of Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD) was studied on a
refuge (790 ha) in southwestern Washington during 1972-77. Quality of
habitat was considered good for these deer and total population size remained
between 164-230 as determined by mark-recapture methods during
November. Population size declined significantly between the winters of...
