“…The changes in grazing management required to provide pre-and post-burning deferment have also been shown to improve habitat for wildlife. For example, at the Sonora Experiment Station in south Texas, White-tailed deer preferred a 7-pasture-iherd cattle grazing rotation system over the 4-pasture-3-herd deferred and continuous graze systems (Reardon et al 1978).…”

“…Consequently, deer may change their habitat utilization patterns to avoid areas with little understory. In Texas, white-tailed deer preferred rangelands that were put to rest periodically (Reardon et al, 1978). Lack of protective cover is especially detrimental for fawns, which depend on cover for protection (Carroll and Brown, 1977;Mackie, 1981;Loft et al, 1987).…”

“…Hunter success, however, is complex and involves many variables. Reardon, Merrill & Taylor Jr (1978) found a direct positive correlation between the success of hunters and deer density. Additionally, habitat types are variable in quantity and quality, resulting in varying distribution and abundance of deer.…”

Understanding the habitat use of wildlife species is important for effective management. Nebraska has a variety of habitat types, with the majority being covered by rangeland and cropland. These habitat types likely influence the harvest of mule deer (MD; Odocoileus hemionus) in Nebraska, but their specific effects are unknown, and moreover, harvest may also be influenced by the accessibility of deer habitats for hunters. We modeled which environmental and anthropogenic landscape features influenced harvest densities. Spatial analysis in a Geographic Information System was used to determine the mean values of environmental and anthropogenic landscape features at the county level. We then used a generalized linear model to determine which of those factors influenced MD harvest from 2014–2016. We found that NDVI amplitude, hunter effort, road density, terrain roughness, and canopy cover influence MD harvest in Nebraska. According to our model, MD harvest densities are significantly greater areas with NDVI amplitude ∼38, increasing hunter effort, road densities near 1,750 m/km2, increasing terrain roughness, and decreasing canopy cover. Understanding increased harvest densities of MD can be beneficial for wildlife managers, allowing for more efficient allocation of efforts and expenses by managers for population management.
