White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) White-tailed deer occur almost entirely in the hardwood areas within their general range except for the southeastern section of Texas where the principal vegetation is a mixture of pines and hardwoods or nearly pure stands of pines. In regions heavily populated with deer their trails and beds, the latter usually scraped out places under the protection of overhanging boughs or at the bases of trees, are readily seen and give some clue to the density of the population. For example, in the Edwards Plateau region, where deer were belled in an experimental study, many of the marked deer remained on an area of 259 ha for at least 3 years. www.nsrl.ttu.edu /tmot1/odocvirg.htm   (1257 words)

CT DEP: White-tailed Deer Fact Sheet The deer population continues to increase, as deer benefit from man’s land use activities, evidenced by their adaptation to manicured suburban environments and the clearing of forests for timber harvest and cordwood cutting. The only practical way to control free-ranging deer herds in the state is by harvesting animals each year to help curb population expansion and maintain the deer herd at a level compatible with the habitat and farming interests. The numerous laws enacted during this period to protect the dwindling deer resource, plus the improvement in deer habitat as farms were abandoned, contributed to a slow but steady rebound in deer numbers. dep.state.ct.us /burnatr/wildlife/factshts/wtdeer.htm   (1177 words)
