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.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplemental feeding is commonly practiced to enhance available nutrition for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The effects of supplemental feeding on the surrounding vegetative community may be related to herbivory, trampling, and seed dispersal. I evaluated how these potential mechanisms affect vegetative communities using a matched-pair design (fed and ecologically equivalent unfed sites) during 2018-2020. In a short-term manipulative portion of the study, I sampled the vegetation prior to feeding and during two years of feeding. In a long-term retrospective study, I sampled feeders established 5-7 years previously. Feeders increased daily detection rate of deer and seed dispersing non-target wildlife, percentage of browsed plants, bare ground, and seed deposition. Plant communities diverged increasingly more from year 1 through years 5-7. Supplemental feeding directly affects local understory plant communities due to increased herbivory and trampling, while seed dispersal by non-target wildlife and increased bare ground may facilitate invasion of non-desirable plant species.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplemental feeding of deer is a common management action. However, concentrating animals, as feeding does, is known to promote the transmission of disease. We examined how feeding alters three sources of disease: aflatoxins, gastrointestinal parasites, and ticks. To do this, we paired 79 feeder sites throughout Mississippi with ecologically-equivalent sites without feeders. Wildlife visitation increased at feeders compared to sites without feeders. For aflatoxins, we sampled during the summer and hunting season and found low prevalence and levels in feeders and bagged/bulk feed. The greater concern was environmental exposure to aflatoxins. All corn piles exposed to environmental contamination in July contained toxic levels of aflatoxins after eight days. The environmental load of gastrointestinal parasites was elevated for coccidia (4x) and strongylids (3x). Finally, feeding reduced the number of ticks at feeder sites, but did not alter the prevalence of tick-borne diseases within captured ticks compared to sites without feeders.

Download or read book Home-range Fidelity and the Effect of Supplemental Feeding on Contact Rates Between White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus) in Southern Illinois written by Matthew Rustand and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White-tailed deer (Odocoileous virginianus ) are an important game animal and provide intrinsic value to many people. However, disease has become of great concern within white-tailed deer populations. Frequency of contract drives the establishment and spread of infectious diseases among susceptible hosts. Supplemental feed provided to increase white-tailed deer survival or create hunting opportunities, as well as bait stations to aid in capture of deer, may increase contact opportunities and disease transfer. The author's objective was to quantify the effects of bait sites on indirect contact between deer. The author examined data from global positioning system (GPS) collars placed on 27 deer near Carbondale, Illinois, USA, from 2002 to 2005. Location data from GPS collars were used to ensure that the author quantified contacts between deer in separate social groups, based on the volume of intersection of their spatial utilization distributions and correlation of movements. Understanding the spatial distribution of white-tailed deer is important to implement effective disease and population management within localized areas. The objective of this study was to measure the home-range fidelity of female deer in an exurban deer herd in southern Illinois.

Download or read book Foraging Behavior, Social Interactions, and Predation Risk of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus) at a Concentrated Resource written by David Bledsoe Stone and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildlife feeding is undertaken for a variety of reasons including increasing viewing opportunities, improving body condition, preventing starvation, and facilitating hunter harvest. I investigated anti-predator and foraging behavior at bait sites, the role of competition on bait site visitation, and spatio-temporal responses to baiting. During 2013 and 2014, I used global positioning system (GPS) telemetry and camera traps to assess white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) behavior at bait sites and implications for harvest susceptibility. Camera trap data indicated that foraging behavior was influenced by social interactions and breeding chronology. Co-occurrence of mature and immature males at a bait site negatively impacted feeding rates for immature males. I used a multi-state modeling approach to determine if deer temporally partitioned their use of bait sites based on dominance status and how the resulting patterns in bait site visitation would potentially expose deer to different sources of predation risk, depending on the activity patterns of the predator. I found that subordinate (yearling males and adult females) and dominant (adult males) cohorts avoided each other temporally at the patch level. Subordinates were more likely to use bait sites during diurnal hours during the pre- and post-breeding phases of the breeding season than dominants. Bait site visitation for dominants and subordinates did not differ during nocturnal hours in any phase of the breeding season. Lastly, I used dynamic Brownian bridge movement models and camera traps to assess harvest suscpetibility. I determined that hunters were less likely to encounter a deer at a bait site than non-baited areas in their home range, regardless of sex, age class, or phase of the breeding season. Although no sex-age class selected for bait sites over other portions of their home range during legal hunting hours, adult females were more susceptible to harvest at bait sites during the pre-breeding season than the breeding or post-breeding seasons. Conversely, adult and yearling males were more likely to visit a bait site during hunting hours in the post-breeding season than the pre- or breeding seasons. Social interactions, competitive status, and reproductive behaviors are important drivers of deer behavior and harvest susceptibility at bait sites.
