Overview
Life History
The basic life histories of Oregon’s deer species (Columbia black-tailed deer, Columbia
and Northwest (Idaho) white-tailed deer, and mule deer) are all very similar. The rut, or
breeding season, extends from late October through early December. Fawns are born
about 7 months later, usually in late May through mid-June. Adult does typically pro-
duce twins each year in good habitat. Fawns are spotted with white; the spotted pelage
usually is molted by September. Fawns are left alone for long periods during the early
weeks of life to avoid drawing the attention of predators. Fawn survival to breeding age
largely determines the growth or decline of deer populations. Major factors contribut-
ing to mortality include nutrition, weather, habitat quality, predation, and accidents,
among others. Females typically live longer than bucks even in unhunted populations.
Does can live to 15 years or more; bucks seldom live more than 9 years. Male mortality
rates are higher because of stress and fighting during the rut, and, of course, hunting.
Competition with other males to breed expends high levels of energy that results in loss
of body fat, so bucks enter winter in poorer condition than does.
Deer both graze and browse. Forbs and browse (stems and leaves of woody plants) are
favored forage during the growing season. Grasses are consumed during some seasons.
In many areas, the availability of forage is strongly associated with logging or fire, which
create favorable forage conditions.
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE)
affecting members of the deer family. CWD has not been detected in any Oregon
samples obtained since testing began in 1996. However, because a large number of
samples is required to statistically know whether CWD is present or absent in wild
populations, the department continues to test for CWD from hunter harvested deer
and elk. Field staff also opportunistically sample animals dying from other causes such
as road kill. Since 2002, the department has attempted to collect a minimum 1,000
samples each year from deer and elk distributed throughout the state. Regulations are
in place to help prevent CWD from being brought to Oregon from animals harvested in
CWD states (see regulations).

Black-tailed Deer
Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus
columbianus) make their home in the timber and
heavy brush of western Oregon. The population level
is largely dependent on habitat quality and quantity.
In western Oregon black-tailed deer are typically
found in brushy areas at the edges of forests and
chaparral thickets, not in dense forests. Recently dis-
turbed habitats such as clearcuts or burns, with their
characteristic grasses, forbs, and shrubs, are condu-
cive to healthy deer populations.
Blacktails are usually smaller and darker than mule
deer. The most distinguishing feature is the tail.
Although not as long or wide as that of the white-
tail, it is much larger than that of the mule deer. The
underside of the tail is covered with white hair while
the top portion is black or brownish. Antler points of
the bucks usually branch in pairs and the brow tine or
eye guard is of medium length, if present.
Distribution
Columbian black-tailed deer primarily inhabit that
portion of the state west of the Cascade summit.
These deer are frequently found in groups led by an
older female. They concentrate their daily activities
around dawn and dusk. The home range of non-mi-
gratory deer may be less than 100 acres, but can be
as large as 600 acres in less favorable habitat.
Most blacktails that summer in the high Cascades
winter at lower elevations on the west slope. Some
wintering occurs east of the Cascade crest, especially
in the Mt. Hood, Metolius, and Klamath Lake areas.
Both the larger bucks and highest deer populations
are found in burned and logged areas where food
supplies are abundant. Areas that provide openings
next to older stands of trees make food and cover
easily accessible to deer.
Management
Winter loss of black-tailed deer is generally far less
than for mule deer. Typically, snow does not remain
on the valley floors for extended periods, nor does
it form a crust on the surface as can happen on the
east side of the Cascades. If winter losses do occur,
herds can recover and increase quickly where forage
is abundant. Generally, hunting has less effect on
black-tail populations than on mule deer due to the
dense vegetation that provides excellent hiding and
escape cover.
Deer damage to forest plantations and agriculture
crops adjacent to timbered areas can require hunts
to reduce localized or unit-wide populations. Travel
management areas partially funded by ODFW on pri-
vate timberlands are helping to keep some areas open
to public hunting by providing road closures and law
enforcement.
Annual inventory consists of driving specific measured
routes, shining spotlights into timber and clearcut
units, and counting and classifying deer. These routes
provide a measure of trends over time. Routes must
be altered periodically as clearcuts mature and others
are created nearby. Buck and fawn ratios are record-
ed to provide information on buck escapement and
fawn recruitment. Formal Management Objectives
(MOs) have not been set for blacktails. Population
information is compared to “benchmarks” for indi-
vidual units. Benchmarks are management guidelines
similar to MOs but have not been adopted by the

Commission. The Department will begin working on a
Black-tailed Deer Management Plan in 2005, MOs will
be developed during the planning process.
Deer Hair Loss Syndrome (DHLS)
Deer Hair Loss Syndrome (DHLS) is a condition af-
fecting both black-tailed and Columbian white-tailed
deer. First described in Western Washington in 1996,
DHLS has now moved southward through western
Oregon to northern California. The condition produc-
es hair discoloration, hair loss, weight loss, diarrhea,
and lethargy. The syndrome can ultimately result in
the death of some animals, primarily from exposure.
Deer with DHLS have abnormally heavy infestations
of lice, which have been identified as an exotic spe-
cies. Fawns are impacted more than adults resulting
in poor recruitment and low survival in some areas.
Surveys using standardized methods are conducted
in the spring to assess the prevalence of DHLS. DHLS
prevalence varies considerably by management unit
but the proportion of deer with DHLS appears highest
in the Stott Mountain, Alsea, and Siuslaw units.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife con-
tinues to support and monitor research activities
focusing on DHLS. Research on DHLS was initiated in
2003 through a cooperative effort with Oregon State
University, USDA-APHIS-VS, and the Department.
The 2-year study ended in June 2005. The study was
designed to evaluate transmission potential between
black-tailed deer and mule deer, and describe the
progression of the syndrome within individual deer. It
was determined that the “biting” louse, considered
to be the cause of the syndrome, could live on mule
deer. Other information acquired from this research
will help biologists better understand the progression
of the syndrome in deer populations. Further study is
needed and being planned for the future. The study
facility is located at ODFW’s E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area.
In addition to contributing funds for the project, the
department also provided volunteers and employees
to assist with the study.

White-tailed Deer
The most distinguishing feature of white-tailed deer is
the tail. Whitetails have long, wide tails that can easily
be seen, especially when they raise their tails when
startled. White-tailed deer antlers differ from mule
and black-tailed deer in that there is one main beam
with points coming off. Mule and black-tailed deer
have antlers that fork on the main beam.
Distribution
Two subspecies of white-tailed deer occur in Oregon.
Populations of the Columbian white-tailed deer (O.
virginianus leucurus) are found in the Umpqua River
Basin near Roseburg, on a series of Columbia River is-
lands in Oregon and Washington, and on the Oregon
and Washington mainlands along the lower Columbia
River.
The other whitetail in Oregon is often called the
Northwest (Idaho) whitetail (O. v. ochrourus). High-
est densities of this subspecies occur in northeastern
Oregon, particularly in Union, Wallowa, and Umatilla
counties.
Management
Columbia white-tailed deer were listed as a federally
endangered species in 1968, and listed by Oregon
in 1987. The Columbia River population is still listed
under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA).
However, the Roseburg population was de-listed by
Oregon in 1995 and by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service in 2003. The current Roseburg population
estimate is about 6,400. For the first time in almost
40 years, there will be a hunting season for Colum-
bian white-tailed deer during the fall of 2005. There
will be a controlled hunt in the Roseburg area with
twenty tags authorized. In addition, landowner pref-
erence tags will be available to landowners with more
than 40 acres within the hunt area.
Populations of the Northwest (Idaho) whitetail are
thriving in areas with suitable habitat: typically heavy
shrub patches and thick riparian vegetation. Although
expanding to the south and west, their preference
for heavy cover has limited their distribution. A few
hunts are designed specifically to harvest whitetails
and these can provide some unique and exciting op-
portunities.
Deer Hair Loss Syndrome (DHLS)
Columbian white-tailed deer are susceptible to DHLS.
A discussion of DHLS is included in the black-tailed
deer section.

Mule Deer
Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus
hemionus) are native to eastern Oregon. The mule
deer is the larger member of the genus in Oregon.
Explorers in the early 1800s reported a scarcity of big
game, but 20 years later gold miners found abundant
deer herds. This century has seen similar fluctuations.
Scientific studies of the 1930s reported that between
1926 and 1933 Oregon’s mule deer population
ranged from 39,000 to 75,000 animals. The esti-
mated population in 2005 was 230,700, which was
34 percent below the revised statewide management
objective of 347,400 mule deer adopted June 2005.
Mule deer populations have been generally declining
throughout western North America during the last
several years.
Distribution
Mule deer occupy a wide range of habitat types;
some live in desert shrub, steppe, some in woodlands,
and some in conifer forests. In general, however,
mule deer occupy the more open, rugged areas.
Although mule deer commonly are considered to be
“browsers”, they consume a wide variety of plant
materials and in some seasons graze extensively.
During summer, deer are scattered over much of east-
ern Oregon. Winter weather forces deer to migrate to
lower elevations. In winter, the critical period of life
for the mule deer, new growth of twigs of shrubs and
trees is browsed, especially that of species high in fat
content. Sagebrush, bitterbrush, rabbit-brush, juniper,
and mountain-mahogany, are among those typically
browsed.
In the most productive winter ranges of central and
southeastern Oregon, favorite shrubs such as bit-
terbrush and mountain mahogany stand above the
snow, in typical years, providing food and shelter. The
sagebrush plateau areas of Lake, Harney, and Mal-
heur counties support lower densities of deer. Some
ranges in northeastern Oregon lack suitable shrub
habitat critical in severe winters.
Management
Mule deer surveys are normally conducted twice an-
nually. Herd composition counts are conducted dur-
ing November and December and again along with
spring trend counts during March and April. Deer are
classified as bucks, does, and fawns to calculate ratios
of bucks, fawns, and does in each management unit.
Buck ratios measure post-hunting season survival
of bucks and indicate numbers and age classes of
bucks available for breeding. Post-season buck ratios
are compared to the buck ratio MO for each unit to
determine if the objective is being met.
In order to measure effects of weather, predation,
poaching, and hunting seasons on deer herds, it is
necessary to conduct periodic population inventories.
Trend counts are conducted during March and April
and are used to measure overwinter survival of popu-
lations. They are made along the same routes or areas
each year and are traveled by vehicle, horseback, air-
craft, or on foot. All observed deer are counted, and
the number is compared to the previous year’s infor-
mation to determine if populations have increased or
decreased. Deer are capable of increasing or decreas-
ing very quickly depending on the circumstances.
The fall fawn ratio is used to determine numbers of
fawns present in populations before winter. During
spring counts, deer are classified as adults or fawns

and a ratio of fawns per 100 adults is calculated.
Spring fawn ratios are compared to fall herd composi-
tion to estimate the number of fawns entering the
population (recruitment), a critical factor in measuring
mule deer productivity.
All of the information collected is used to simulate
yearly gains and losses through computer modeling.
Mule deer tag numbers are adjusted annually and
allocated by controlled hunt only. Total population
management objectives (MOs) for each unit were set
in 2005 by Commission action and are considered
maximums. MOs are scheduled to be reviewed every
5 years and may be adjusted up or down to meet
changing conditions. In addition, post-season MOs
were set for buck ratios. There are 3 strategies used
to determine tag numbers based on buck ratios:
Units that are managed to provide maximum hunter recreation, and generally have historical-ly high recruitment and herd productivity, have a minimum buck ratio MO of 12 bucks per 100 does post-season. About 60% of the buck harvest in these units will be yearling bucks. Fifteen of 50 management units or subunits fall in this category.
To provide a better chance of bagging an older age-class buck under somewhat less crowded conditions, 27 units are managed for minimum post-season buck ratio of 15 bucks per 100 does. Fewer tags are available in these units, but harvest will typically include 40 to 60% bucks 2.5 years or older.
Quality hunting experiences under uncrowded condi-
tions are possible in the 8 units with buck ratio MOs
of 25 bucks per 100 does. Hunting conditions will
generally be uncrowded, and most harvest should
be mature bucks. More information on mule deer
management can be found in Oregon’s Mule Deer
Management Plan, which is on the Department’s
website.

Adenovirus (AHD)
Adenovirus (AHD) is one of three viral hemorrhagic
diseases known to affect deer. Deer have tested posi-
tive for the disease based on serum antibody titers in
23 Oregon big game units throughout the state since
2003. In May 2002, the department confirmed AHD
was causing an “all age and sex” mule deer die-off
in and around Crooked River Ranch in the Metolius
unit. Additional monitoring and testing indicated the
disease had spread as far south as Sun River in the
Upper Deschutes unit and into the eastern portion
of the Grizzly unit. The department estimated that
approximately 500 mule deer died prior to Nov.–Dec.
2002 when the main outbreak subsided.
Deer exposure to AHD continues to cause mortality
in the affected area. Unfortunately, there is little that
can be done to prevent or cure the disease. In an
increased effort to monitor the disease, the Depart-
ment is continuing with surveillance and instituted
special carcass disposal restrictions. Any animal show-
ing symptoms of the disease is collected for testing
and disposed of within the outbreak area to insure
no further spread. Although many variables may be
interacting to cause the observed decline, AHD likely
has been a major factor. The department will con-
tinue to monitor health of mule deer in this area.
