- W1593953020 abstract "Management of white-ta~led deer (Odocoileus virginiarius) holds a h ~ g h priority on many Texas ranches today The use of prescl-ibed aerial of coyotes to increase white-tailed deer productivity may prov~de wildlife managers with an economical management tool. I descr~be two case studies of ranches in the Lower Rolling Plains where prescribed coyote control has increased the deer herds Today's wildl~f'e managers are faced with producing a conunodity that is acceptable to both landowners and hunters. The development of a pl-oduct~ve whte-ta~led eer herd that can susta~n an annual halvest w~l l sat~sfy this need, by prov~ding lando+qia-s vith add~tional Income and hunters with a quality recl.eational oppol-tunity Howevel-, there are many factors that affect the product~on of i~ldl~fe that is being managed Factors such as drought and above nommal rainfall, w ~ t h its associated Iloodlng, are beyond the control of wildllfe nianagess 14oweve1-, livestock grazing, harvest quotas, brvsh clearing and predation can be controlled, indeed manipulated, to enhance wildlife populations and the~r habitat. The enhancement of wildlife habitat IS of cr~tical irnpo~tance to the manager slnce habitat is the basis of product~on for any species. Other aspects of populat~on management wh~ch ate of prime impostance to the vildl~fe manager are the genetic qual~ty of the herd, deer dens~ty, sustained I-eclultn~ent Into the herd, and proper liai-vest quotas I will I-ep01-t on tvo case stud~es (I e , ranches) where I have worked 111 recent yeal-s to manipulate coyote densities as a tool for I~CI-easing deer surrival Davcnport Ranch-Fisher County compr~sed primanly of low rolling hills bisected by one malor drainage w~th numerous draws Mesquite (Pi.osopis gla~idulosa) 1s the dominant woody specles inhabiting the upland, w ~ t h light to moderate stands of western soapbelly (Sapind~rs dtumn~onclir), ch~ttam (Burrtelra lanugi~iosa), elm (Ulmus spp ), cottonwood (Pop~ilus deltorcles), and associated small blush specles occun-lng m the water courses A helicopter sul-vey was conducted on September 23, 1986, to dete~mlne the status of the whitetalled deer herd and turkey population (Table 1; Fig. 1). A total count of the ranch indicated a deer density of 1 deer per 105 acres; a low population level considel-ing the availabil~ty and cond~tion of the deer habitat on t h ~ s ranch During the survey, we observed 17 coyotes and only 12 white-tailed deer fawns. When ye calculated the fawn:doe ratio, this ranch had only a 21% fawn sulv~val, compared to an average 61% fau8n su~vival on other managed ranches in thc same general area (Table I). Dres management recornmendat~ons were made wh~ch Included control of the coyote populat~on, establishment of food plots, use of commercial high protein f e d duing vegetatively stressful penods and proper halvest of the deer herd A predator control prop-arn was ul~t~ated on the ranch during the winter and spring of 1986-87 which I-emoved 54 coyotes by ground contsol (calling) and aa-ial hunting The majority of those coyotes were removed by aerial hunting In September 1986, 1 had the oppoitunity to Controlling the coyote population just prior to begin u'osk v~th Ms Bob Davenport on a w~ld l~ fe the deer fawnlng period IS refen-ed to as the Open management plan for the 9,600-acre ranch he owns Window Polrcy.

The average fawn su~vival for other managed ranches in the area was 65%. The aerial hunting method, utilizing a helicopter, was again used to reduce the coyote population in April 1988, wh~ch resulted in the removal of 43 coyotes Year 1986" @default.
