Book Description
Current research is necessary to focus management of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the agricultural midwest, especially given the novel presence of chronic wasting disease in the region. Objectives were to: (1) examine the potential effects of weather and row-crop harvest on daily harvest of white-tailed deer by archery, and individual hunter variables (e.g., age, weapon preference, preference of hunting method) on individual hunter efficiency and success in 2 regions of Illinois (i.e., east-central and southern Illinois); (2) estimate white-tailed deer densities using direct (i.e., spotlighting deer from road transects) and indirect (i.e., counting pellet groups on randomly-placed transects) techniques across 3 study areas in the midwestern U.S.; (3) quantify sex, age, and season-specific survival and dispersal rates of white-tailed deer in east-central Illinois; and (4) assess habitat selection of white-tailed deer during the summer months in east-central Illinois.
