Abstract
Sex ratio and birth date of captured and tagged newborn white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) did not differ from fawns not handled as newborn from 1977 to 1985 (for all years combined) in a 252-ha enclosure in Upper Michigan. Mean age of mothers was not different (P < 0.05) for the 2 groups of fawns in the study. Captured and tagged fawns suffered less mortality than the unhandled fawns (9 vs. 18%, respectively).This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
