Mule Deer Monitoring Report For Fiscal Year 2013
- Mission Support Alliance, LLC, Hanford, WA (United States)
Population characteristics of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) on the Hanford Site have been monitored since 1994. Roadside surveys have been conducted during the post-hunting period from November to January to assess age and sex ratios, and the frequency of testicular atrophy in males. Because the mule deer have been largely protected from hunting on the Hanford Site for 50 years, the herd has developed unique population characteristics, including a large proportion of older males (Tiller et al. 1997).
