The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.We estimated daily probabilities of female elk transitioning between hunter access strategies during 4 periods of the fall hunting season in the Devil's Kitchen study area in central Montana, USA, 2020‐2023. Elk generally avoided harvest risk by selecting for less hunter access and more restrictive harvest regulations.

Biological consequences of winter‐feeding of mule deer in developed landscapes in Northern Utah
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011 Winter‐feeding of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in developed landscapes is often advocated by stakeholders to compensate for lost or fragmented winter range.

Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Large herbivores exhibit relatively slow-paced life histories, and allocate resources toward maintaining high rates of adult survival, while juvenile survival has greater variability. Maternal females make decisions throughout life stages of reproduction

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.

Using maternal mule deer movements to estimate timing of parturition and assist fawn captures
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Movement patterns of maternal ungulates have been used to determine parturition dates and aid in locating fawns, which may be important for understanding reproductive rates (e.g., pregnancy and fetal), but such methods have not been validated for mule ...

Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

Susceptibility of spring‐flowering garden plants to herbivory by mule deer
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Many people look forward to spring flowers, only to discover that mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) have eaten the sprouting plants and flower buds. One potential method to prevent this problem is to grow unpalatable flowering plants in gardens where deer ...

Integrating fecal DNA and telemetry to estimate wildlife densities in anthropogenic landscapes
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Density estimation is central to wildlife management efforts but can be challenging in anthropogenic landscapes due to small parcel sizes, access restrictions, and limited green space. We evaluated (a) the use of a plot‐based spatial capture‐recapture sampling design to estimate deer density in developed landscapes and (b) if integrating telemetry data
