Abstract
The kind and amount of deer food varied between forest types and with rainfall in an Arkansas Ozark forest. The sparsely timbered cedar glades and bottomland hardwoods produced the most herbage and evergreen browse. They received heaviest deer use when mast was scarce. The more densely stocked hardwood types grew less forage but were the main source of winter food in good mast years. Average mast yields were 5-10 times greater than average winter browse yields.
