Abstract:

This study seeks to identify the principal predators of deer in the southeastern United States and to determine their impact on deer herds and deer management. Other forms of deer mortality are also included. Barick discusses the study procedure, the size of the wildlife areas studied, how the data was analyzed, and how predation by dogs was measured. Data for dog predation was collected from western North Carolina wildlife management areas.

Abstract:

Bobcats are the third most important predator of deer after man and dogs. Predation by other animals is slight, with panthers active only in Florida and bears and foxes rarely attacking deer in North Carolina. Miscellaneous deer mortality included running into cars and trains, getting tangled in fences, and dying from tick bites. Predators take an average of 8.5 percent from deer herds each year; miscellaneous mortalities account for 6.3 percent; and hunting accounts for 85 percent, but only 63 percent is considered legal harvest. The other 22 percent is taken illegally or is killed but lost in the woods.

Abstract:

"The incurable disease has serious implications for the state's deer herd." The disease has not yet been detected in North Carolina but the state has been active in surveillance. Current measures for prevention include banning importation of live cervids known to be susceptible to CWD, banning importation of whole cervid carouses and regulations on the use of urine and other secretions from cervids used to attract wildlife.
