Abstract: The Sublette mule deer herd is one of Wyoming's most notable deer herds, with an abundance of trophy class animals and a population objective of 32,000. Expanding sub-divisions and anticipated oil/gas development have created concerns with protection of deer winter range and migratory routes. This project examines the distribution and habitat use of ?150 radio-collared deer in the Green River Basin. Data will be used to evaluate a cumulative effects model developed to identify negative effects of proposed oil/gas drilling in the area. Data from winters 1998-99/99-00 are currently being analyzed to identified areas of the model needing modification. These data are also being used to identify important migration corridors, as well as other population characteristics for the Sublette mule deer herd. Conclusion of this project is expected in January 2001.
