Title: Mapping Deer Trails with GPS


1
Mapping Deer Trails with GPS by Andy Eklof
and Randy Klatt
2
What Vegetation Types Do Deer Prefer?
3
Our Hypothesis Deer Prefer Areas Dominated By
Oak, Aspen, and Pine Vegetation.
4
Where Did We Get The Background For Our
Hypothesis?
Deer trail abundance suggested a strong
preference for open, aspen, and jack pine
habitats. Lower deer use occurred in oak and red
pine habitats.If the management objective is
to maintain the existing deer habitat
suitability in central Wisconsin, we recommend
maintaining as much of the existing open, aspen,
and jack pine habitats as possible. -Habitat

To Summarize
Our Findings
Original Hypothesis
  • Deer trail abundance suggested a strong
    preference for open, aspen, and jack pine
    habitats. Lower deer use occurred in oak and red
    pine habitats.
  • While we found that deer prefer vegetation
    dominated by oak and pine, they also prefer open
    fields surrounded by oak and pine vegetation.
