Descriptive aspects of two fawn populations as delineated by reproductive differences
Prior to 1971, doe fawns from a river swamp portion of the Energy Research Development Agency's Savannah River Plant near Aiken, South Carolina, bred at significantly lower rates than did fawns from a proximal upland habitat. During the fall and early winter of 1971, nutritional, stress, genetic, …

Preliminary evaluation of the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) as a potential bioherbicide control agent for crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) infestations of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb. cv. Fawn) turf
… and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb. 'Fawn') and the additive effect of rice blast bioherbicide on the competitiveness of crabgrass; (iii) survival of rice blast spores under non-conducive infection conditions on crabgrass; and (iv) effect of multiple inoculations of rice blast fungus …

Mule deer response to military activity in southeast Colorado
… I radio-collared fifty adult deer and 49 fawns. Female seasonal home ranges were larger in maneuver than non maneuver areas. During the nonsummer period female home ranges were larger in previous-maneuver than non maneuver areas. Fawn summer home ranges were larger in maneuver than …

Population Dynamics and Spatial Ecology of White-tailed Deer in the Central Appalachian Mountains of Virginia
… neonate white-tailed deer until 12 weeks of age. Fawn and adult female survival was 0.310 (95% CI = 0.210-0.475) and 0.871 (95%CI=0.790-0.961) respectively. During the study, I observed a total of 37 fawn mortalities and identified the cause of death using field evidence and through analyzing …

Effect of Oil and Natural Gas Development on Survival and Health of White-tailed Deer in the Western Dakotas
… mortality (61%). Intrinsic three- and six-month fawn survival models indicated capture type (six-months: 53%, SE = 0.07 and 74%, SE = 0.05, VIT and opportunistic six-month fawns, respectively) influenced survival. Extrinsic three- and six-month fawn survival models indicated that canopy cover at …

Factors Affecting White-tailed Deer Recruitment in Virginia
… growth. We evaluated white-tailed deer fawn recruitment both directly and indirectly at relatively broader spatial and temporal scales. We studied fawn survival on Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, USA from 2008–2019. We used the Kaplan-Meier estimator, and Cox-proportional hazards …

Deer behavior as it effects sex and age ratio counts
… at 426. There were 200 does, 110 bucks, and 116 fawns. Bucks were seen at about the same rate throughout the summer and fall. Since does and fawns are very seclusive in July, bucks were seen at the highest rate of any class during that month. In August, when fawns were two months old, both does …

Ecology of pronghorns on the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site, Colorado
… of military training. Forty-seven adults and 32 fawns were radio marked; 247 adults were color collared or ear tagged only. Using aerial strip and quadrat surveys, I estimated a summer population for 1983, 1984, and 1985 of 694, 690, and 657 respectively. Adult female pregnancy rate was …

Ecology of mule deer on the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site, Colorado
… 1983-December 1984. Thirty-eight adults and 28 fawns were radio collared, and 35 adults were color collared or ear tagged. Population estimates were 365 and 370 deer for 1983 and 1984, respectively. The sex ratio (yearling and adult) was 60 males: 100 females. Adult female pregnancy rate was …

Understanding White-Tailed Deer Productivity: Population Ecology of Neonates
… limited and often fragmented, which could affect fawn ecology. To what extent fawns use Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands in the Northern Great Plains is unknown. Reductions in CRP enrollments during our study provided a unique opportunity to evaluate neonate ecology during a period of …

Factors Influencing a Declining Pronghorn Population in Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota
… Coyotes (Canis latrans) accounted for 50% of fawn deaths and likely contributed to mortalities of neonates from unknown predators. Fifty daytime fawn bed sites and 50 random sites were sampled in June of 2002 and 2003. Height of vegetation surrounding bed sites was not significantly different …

A population study of a confined deer herd
… 25.4% adult bucks, 44.3% adult does, and 30.3% fawns. The 1966 reproductive rate was determined to be 1.1 fawns per breeding female. Females were assumed to first produce fawns at 2 years of age. Using known data and assumptions based on findings on similar areas, a hypothetical growth table for …

Effects of Prescribed Fire Regimes on White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Browse, Forage, and Nutrient Availability in the Pineywoods Ecoregion of Texas
… energy for maintenance, field dressed weight, fawn to doe ratios, deer density, and preferred herbaceous biomass were generally higher with a more frequent burn regime. For achieving desired white-tailed deer long-term management results, site-specific burning with the appropriate frequency is …

Development of Lure Forages for Minimizing Winter Depredation By Deer in South Dakota
… were: 1) To document and compare growth rates of fawns from eastern South Dakota and the Black Hills; 2) To develop/evaluate feeds (lure forages) for deterring deer from depredating stored feed sources in South Dakota; and 3) To evaluate physiological and nutritional condition of captive deer …

Seasonal dietary composition of the eastern coyote (Canis latrans) on the berry college campus in Northwestern Georgia
… deer (13.7%), and eastern gray squirrels (10%). Fawn remains were slightly more frequent in coyote scats than adult deer (7.8% vs. 5.9%). Mammal remains (71.2%) comprised the largest prey category, followed by vegetation (10.7%), arthropods (7.4%), birds (3.3%), and reptiles (1.5%). Significant …

Effects of energy and protein levels on attainment of puberty and steroid hormone production in captive female white-tailed deer
Twenty-four female fawns, weaned at 3.5 months of age, were divided into three groups and randomly assigned to one of four treatments with that group. High energy-high protein (HEHP), high energy-low protein (HELP), low energy-high protein (LEHP), and low energy-low protein (LELP) diets were the …

A study of spermatozoan reserves of male white-tailed deer and of the reproductive physiology of fawns
… between November and December in adult deer. Fawn testes and epididymides weights, and testes and epididymides spermatozoan reserves were significantly (P<0.05) lower than older deer in November and in December. Nineteen male and 21 female fawns collected from the Radford Army Ammunition Plant …
