Winter Diets Of Elk And Deer In The Blue Mountains Oregon PDF Download

Excerpt from Winter Diets of Elk and Deer in the Blue Mountains, Oregon From an analysis of fecal pellets, diets of elk and deer were compared during early and late winter of 1973-74 to determine the level of competition. Forage competition between elk and deer was not great even though winter conditions were harsher than normal on the five dual-use winter ranges studied. Shrubs were not as important here as in other winter range areas of the West. Idaho fescue was the single most important item in their diets. Keywords: Food habits (wildlife), range management, cervidae, Blue Mountains (oregon), forage management.
