Post-Delisting Monitoring Report for the Douglas County Distinct Population Segment of the Columbian White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus leucurus). 2003-2005.

摘要

This Post-delisting Monitoring Report fulfills the requirement in the draft Post-delisting Monitoring Plan for the Douglas County Distinct Population Segment of the Columbian White-tailed Deer (deer) (2005). This report summarizes and presents the data (tables, spreadsheets and figures) collected from 2003-2005 for the deer. This report and subsequent annual reports (2006 and 2007) will be distributed to all cooperators and will be posted on the webpage of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Roseburg Field Office. The Post-delisting Monitoring Plan requires us to report on population trends, disease occurrence and habitat status during each year of the post-delisting monitoring period. In the report, we also provide updates on two other issues of interest to managers of the deer in Douglas County: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Roseburg District (ODFW) harvest program and the ODFW trap and transplant program. At the end of this report, we also briefly review the status of the population with respect to the five listing factors considered in section 4 of the Endangered Species Act.
