- Description:
- In northern Idaho, as in other portions of the United States, research on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus ochrourus) has dealt largely with food habits axid food availability. Basile (1954) studied the effects of, snow on browse availability in the University of Idaho's Hatter Creek deer enclosure. Marsh (1954) studied the effects of silvicultural thinnings on browse production in this area, and Roberts (1956) studied the seasonal food habits of deer in five major cover types occurring in the enclosure. These studies have provided information upon which management of woodland habitat for production of deer forage can be based. In general, they emphasized the importance of shrub and early tree seral stages in producing browse for white-tailed deer. They do not, however, yield insight into another aspect of deer behavior which my be important in the management of deer habitat: the choice of habitat, or cover, by deer in response to factors of the environment other than food.
