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



1�

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.
