Abstract
Mapping Urban Deer Communities with GPS and GISTrack: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management
Author(s): Stephen Castlebury Brown, Brandalena Gianette Blake
Urban white-tail deer populations are becoming increasingly more common across the United States. In the community of Hollywood Park, Texas, several factors such as confinement, feeding, and lack of predators, influence a local white-tail deer herd. Using a real-time, differentially corrected GPS receiver connected to a laser range finder, researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio were able to create GIS maps of the white-tail deer community in Hollywood Park. These researchers were then able to document the various factors that influence this white-tail deer herd. Participants in this session will learn how to conduct similar wildlife surveys.
