Elk and Mule Deer

About

This Gallery contains maps and geospatial data pertaining to mule deer and elk and their habitats.  Habitat, and management actions throughout most of the geographic range of mule deer and elk within the SRLCC occurs primarily on the large blocks of public land.  The SRLCC Steering Committee recognizes that conserving these iconic species and their habitats will require a concerted effort by state and federal agencies, tribes, and private conservation organizations.  Across the west, state wildlife agencies are seeing declines in mule deer populations, and a partnership of wildlife managers from across multiple jurisdictions and boundaries will need to make recommendations based on the best science available.  Major impacts to mule deer habitat in the SRLCC geography include: excessive herbivory, successional changes, non-native invasive species, water availability, human encroachment, and energy and mineral development (Watkins, B. E., C. J. Bishop, E. J. Bergman, A. Bronson, B. Hale, B. F. Wakeling, L. H. Carpenter, and D. W. Lutz. 2007. Habitat Guidelines for Mule Deer: Colorado Plateau Shrubland and Forest Ecoregion. Mule Deer Working Group, Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies).
