Distance, weather, and forage conditions drive timing of autumn migration in female mule deer by Colby B. Anton, Nicholas J. DeCesare, Collin J. Peterson

“…Migration presents challenges for managing ungulates when the timing of autumn migrations varies across years and migrations cross management jurisdictions. Methods We evaluated the spatial and temporal patterns of autumn migration using GPS collar data collected during 2017–2019 from 68 female mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) that migrated seasonally within three study areas in northwest Montana. …”
