Overview

Life History

The basic life histories of Oregon’s deer species (Columbian black-tailed deer, Columbian 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 seven months later, usually in late May through mid-June. Adult does typically produce 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 contributing 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 nine years. Male mortality rates are higher because of stress and fi ghting 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 fi re, which create favorable forage conditions.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) af-fecting 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).

Deer and elk hunters are encouraged to allow there animals to be sampled for CWD or stop at biological sampling stations that may be set up during hunting seasons. Sampling takes only a few minutes and will not impact any taxidermy you may want to do with your trophy.

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 disturbed habitats such as clearcuts or burns, with their characteristic grasses, forbs, and shrubs, are conducive 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 whitetail, 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-migratory 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 fl oors 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 eff ect 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 private timberlands are helping to keep some areas open to public hunting by providing road closures and law enforcement.

Annual inventory consists of driving specifi c 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 recorded to provide information on buck escapement and fawn recruitment. The department began working on the Black-tailed Deer Management Plan in 2005 and it was approved in 2008. The emphasis of this plan is on estimating black-tailed numbers, managing habitat and identifying future data needs.

Deer Hair Loss Syndrome (DHLS)

Deer Hair Loss Syndrome (DHLS) is a condition aff ecting 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 produces 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 identifi ed as an exotic species. 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 department continues to support and monitor research activities focusing on DHLS. Research on DHLS was initiated in 2003 through a cooperative eff ort with Oregon State University, USDA-APHIS-VS, and the department. The two-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 diff er 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 islands 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). Highest densities of this subspecies occur in northeastern Oregon, particularly in Union, Wallowa, and Umatilla counties.

Management

Columbian 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 fi rst time in almost 40 years, there was a hunting season for Columbian white-tailed deer during the fall of 2005.

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 specifi cally to harvest whitetails and these can provide some unique and exciting opportunities.

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.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)

CWD has not been detected in any Oregon samples obtained since testing began in 1996. Regulations are in place to help prevent CWD from being brought to Oregon from animals harvested in CWD states (see regulations).

Deer hunters are encouraged to allow there animals to be sampled for CWD or stop at biological sampling stations that may be set up during hunting seasons. Sampling takes only a few minutes and will not impact any taxidermy you may want to do with your trophy.

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 fl uctuations. Scientifi c studies of the 1930s reported that between 1926 and 1933 Oregon’s mule deer population ranged from 39,000 to 75,000 animals. The estimated population is now over 200,000 but still well below the revised statewide management objective of 347,400 mule deer adopted in 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 eastern 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 bitterbrush and mountain mahogany stand above

the snow, in typical years, providing food and shelter. The sagebrush plateau areas of Lake, Harney, and Malheur 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 annually. Herd composition counts are conducted during November and December and again along with spring trend counts during March and April. Deer are classifi ed 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 eff ects 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 populations. They are made along the same routes or areas each year and are traveled by vehicle, horseback, aircraft, or on foot. All observed deer are counted, and the number is compared to the previous year’s information to determine if populations have increased or decreased. Deer are capable of increasing or decreasing 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 classifi ed as adults or fawns and a ratio of fawns per 100 adults is calculated. Spring fawn ratios are compared to fall herd composition 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 historically high recruitment and herd productivity, have a minimum buck ratio MO of 12 bucks per 100 does post-season. About 60 percent 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 percent bucks 2.5 years or older.

Quality hunting experiences under uncrowded conditions 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 Web site.

Adenovirus (AHD)

Adenovirus (AHD) is one of three viral hemorrhagic diseases known to aff ect deer. Deer have tested positive for the disease based on serum antibody titers in 23 Oregon big game units throughout the state since 2003. In May 2002, the department confi rmed 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 aff ected area. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to prevent or cure the disease. In an increased eff ort to monitor the disease, the department is continuing with surveillance and instituted special carcass disposal restrictions. Any animal showing 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 continue to monitor health of mule deer in this area.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)

CWD has not been detected in any Oregon samples obtained since testing began in 1996. Regulations are in place to help prevent CWD from being brought to Oregon from animals harvested in CWD states (see regulations).

Deer hunters are encouraged to allow there animals to be sampled for CWD or stop at biological sampling stations that may be set up during hunting seasons. Sampling takes only a few minutes and will not impact any taxidermy you may want to do with your trophy.
