WebBefore 1905, the deer on the Kaibab Plateau in Arizona were estimated to number about 4000 on almost 300,000 hectares of range. In other words, the animals have moved, especially the deer. Were these methods successful? The overgrazing reduced food to support a carry capacity of 30,000. New Mexico G&F closed their unit 15 to general firearms some years ago. In a story retold by textbooks, natural history museums, and most famously by Aldo Leopold, the deer population experienced an irruption, and devoured all the forage on the plateau. WebThe classic story of predator control, deer population explosion, and habitat degradation on the Kaibab Plateau was a cornerstone of population ecology and natural resources through the 1960s. Let me make a clarification if you have the time and money to scout EXTENSIVELY, then you will be successful, but then again, these people are always successful.

Also, I don't buy the theory that because the unit is managed for elk that therefore it can't have good mule deer hunting. A total of 26 corridors, 16 migration routes, 25 stopovers, and 9 winter ranges, were mapped across these states and are included in this project. Rasmussen (1941) estimates 4,000 in 1906.
