Wyoming Mule Deer Jackson Routes
Mule deer within the Jackson segment of the Sublette herd winter mainly in the valley and south-facing slopes of the buttes. These geologic features are characteristic of the Jackson Hole area near Jackson, Wyoming. Winter ranges in the Jackson valley are a mixture of national forest public land as well as private urban and exurban land. The lower elevation, south-facing hillslopes are typified by stands of Juniperus scopulorum (Rocky Mountain juniper) or mixed mountain shrub communities of Artemisia tridentata (mountain big sagebrush), Artemisia tripartite (three-tip sagebrush), Purshia tridentata (antelope bitterbrush), Amelanchier alnifolia (Saskatoon serviceberry), Symphoricarpos albus (common snowberry), chokecherry, and various grasses and forbs. North-facing slopes are characterized by a mixture of Douglas fir and quaking aspen. These mapping layers show the location of the Migration routes for Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Jackson population in Wyoming. They were developed from 55 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 19 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2 hours.
