White-tailed deer

It can be believed that there is a smaller abundance of Odocoileus virginianus (White Tailed Deer) than Sciurus carolinensis (Grey Squirrels) around Alfred University. According to the History of White Tailed Deer in New York (Brown, 1956), there is the possibility that hunting regulations keep many of these White Tailed Deer safe compared to the lack of hunting regulations on squirrels. A different article (Ward, 1999) which discusses the effect of poisoning on wildlife in the state of New York

White-tailed Deer Behavior Investigating the behavior of animals is essential to understanding the implications for why an animal may do things the way they do. It helps shine some light on a subject that is not heavily researched and give us a better understanding of the feeding behavior, reproductive patterns, seasonal movement and communication between other animals. As boring or bland as animal observation may be it gives us an increased outlook on the many reasons for an animal’s demeanor.

Paraphrasing, and Summarizing In White-Tailed Deer Habitat Ecology and Management on Rangelands, written by Timothy Edward Fulbright & J. Alfonso Ortega-S. The habitat Requirements of white-tailed deer are not complex requirements. “The basic habitat requirements of white-tailed deer are food, cover, space, and water.”(3) With this book the Authors are bringing awareness to anyone who reads it. However, ”Our target audience includes landowners who want to improve deer habitat; range, wildlife, and other

White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is one of the largest spread mammals in the North region of America. White-tailed deer are grayish brown in the winter and red-brown in the summer (Curtis and Sullivan 2001). Compared to female deer (does), male deer (buck) have antlers and they weigh between 125-200 pounds. Female deer weigh less than male deer. (Curtis and Sullivan 2001). White-tailed deer are opportunistic animals that take advantage of unexploited areas. They are mostly found on the

Columbian White-tailed deer are distinguishable because they have a long black tail on the outside, and the male's antlers point all rise from the one main beam. The Columbian white-tail is one of the large subspecies with "antlers narrowly spreading and curving steeply upward” Columbian white-tailed deer's diets consist of young willow, cottonwood, alder and other deciduous trees in riverbanks and the surrounding area. This is where they can usually be found. Male Columbian white-tailed deer are bigger

White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have historical significance throughout the state of Ohio. Ohio’s ancient civilizations relied heavily on white-tailed deer for food, tools, and clothing. Deer were attracted to the region because of the agricultural practices of Native Americans such as growing corn and the prevalence of hard mast . The population of white-tailed deer was healthy prior to European settlement, as predators such as the North American cougar (Puma concolor), eastern timber

When you think of a mammal who regularly kills humans, the white-tailed deer does not come to mind. Unfortunately, the white-tailed deer often jumps in front of vehicles, causing more than one million collisions resulting in over two hundred deaths a year. In James Gorman’s article, he persuaded me that by bringing the eastern cougar back to its original home, the number of deaths would significantly reduce. He explains both the benefits and downsides of cougars returning to their natural habitat

In the journal article “White-Tailed Deer as Keystone Species within Forest Habitats of Virginia” the authors, William J. McShea and John H. Rappole, go in-depth to how white-tailed Deer affect the abundance and distribution of vertebrate species in Virginia. The authors hypothesized that White-Tailed Deer influence the arrangement of winged creatures and warm blooded animals indirectly through changing of the natural surroundings and specifically through the utilization of shared nourishment sorts

Today I am going to talk about the white tailed deer and coyote population across South Carolina. As you can imagine the white-tailed deer population has decreased and the coyote population has increased. I think that one day the white-tailed deer will be an almost extinct species and the coyote will end up being a species that is overpowering the United States of America. This is important because if the coyote do come overpowering, then mankind population will start decreasing and only people

JM, and Bokdam J. 2002. White-tailed deer browsing on six shrub species of tallgrass prairie Great Plains Res 1:141. White-tailed deer have made a tremendous impact on native plant species and endangered ecosystems such as the tallgrass prairie. The purpose of this article is to show how increasing deer populations effect the native shrubs in the Great Plains. In this paper, researchers assessed six shrub species on deer activity in the summer time. Plant species and deer trail placement had strong
