Radio-collared white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; 7 males, 13 females) were tracked from 1984 to 1989 on the Marion County Wildlife Management Area in southern Mississippi. Alternating halves of the study area were planted with 66 0.1-ha and 20 0.4-ha cool-season and 20 0.4-ha summer agronomic forage plots. Mean annual production and utilization (air-dry) of cool-season forages were 1,904 kg/ha (SE = 59) and 1,107 kg/ha (SE = 41), respectively. Summer forage production and utilization were 664 kg/ha (SE = 50) and 586 kg/ha (SE = 48), respectively. Annual 95% convex polygon home...

TELEDAT is an interactive BASIC computer program written for the Texas Instruments TI-74 hand-held calculator to process and store radio-telemetry location data while in the field. TELEDAT simplifies field-tracking and increases the accuracy and precision of telemetered triangulation data by: (1) providing in-field estimation of animal location and receiver-to-transmitter distance; (2) calculating error polygon size and long diagonal; (3) identifying error conditions such as azimuths that do not cross or are near-parallel; and (4) reducing the error inherent in data coding and entry....
