Localization of deer density (as judged by pellet density) around the Watersmeet District. Note rather high pellet density is cocentratred in one large area. |
|
Deer drop in deer pellet density.
Relatively low populations persist throughout the Ottawa National Forest. |
|
Populations are still relatively
low, as judged by pellet density.
Things are starting to pick up around the northern part of the Ottawa NF. |
|
Deer density peaks
around the edges of the Watersmeet RD. Highest densities recorded for this series of time frames. Two separate populations of deer form. |
|
Three separate
concentrations of populations start to develop, envelopping the Ottawa National Forest. |
|
The three previously
present groupings of deer weaken in their density and enclosure around the Watersmeet District. |
|
The dramatic change in
intensity and range of deer is evidenced by the larger concentrations of higher pellet densities. |
