The whitetail deer

The whitetail deer is a staple animal in Arkansas. Arkansas is home to over 200,000 deer. But if there was a lack habitat, light, and nutrition. That number would go down significantly.
If there was a lack of habitat for the whitetail deer than the population numbers would go down a lot. The deer would start pouring into the city's instead of their natural habitat in need of somewhere to breed, sleep ect. Studies have shown that the loss of habitat can be detrimental to all animals, so the deer would be no different. Deer have already started going in urban areas, an example would be on the Maumelle golf course deer come and eat, sleep, and walk around in people's yards, gardens, etc. So if there was a even greater lack

    White Tail Deer Wildlife plays a very important role in the history of our country, dating back hundreds of centuries to the first civilizations of Native Americans. White-Tail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) played a significant part in how the Indians survived; deer supplied the Native Americans with meat (venison), clothing, tools, a source of trade between Europeans, and ceremonial items (Howe, 2011). This being said, if anything were to happen to the population of deer to decline the Indians way of life would be greatly hindered. Much like the Indians from centuries ago, the Indians from the 21st century still utilize the deer in the same way their ancestors did, along with many other Americans that inhabit the United States. The objective…

    ALTHOUGH RESEARCH CONFIRMS that the whitetail rut takes place at almost the exact same time every year, most hunters know that the rut’s intensity varies from day to day. As much as your head spins with the mental images of scrapes, full moons, rubs, monster bucks, and rut-crazed chase scenes, the best times to be in the woods will rarely coincide with calendar anniversaries. Through years of personal experience and research gathered from other hunters, Cory Wiedel is one of the most accomplished whitetail hunters. He has taken 11 Boone and Crockett– class bucks in the past six years, and he places a priority on going after his scouted target bucks only when he recognizes that the conditions are favorable. “There are certain weather-related…

    The reading claims that the elephant-sized edmontosaurs have been survived in the winter by migrating to the warm south territories. However, the lecturer finds all ideas dubious, and refute them all. First, the author argues that edmontosaurs must have migrated for at least part of the year to the hospitable warm areas in order to find food in that in the winter harsh cold of the arctic region prevents plants to grow; in fact, there might have been shortage of food.…

Many people assume that the elk was brought into Arkansas, but it has a long history in the state. Elk were native to the United States, and Arkansas was one of the states that they inhabited. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) has monitored their population throughout their existence in Arkansas. In the 1840s, the subspecies native to Arkansas, the eastern elk, went extinct.…

    As can be seen in the news, most recently with deer, hunting is needed for population control. Deer breed quickly and have been known to double in population during just one year; they can live to be more than ten years old. Deer can also cause damage to gardens and farms, attack humans and other animals, including family pets, and are a danger to those driving. Deer and other hunted animals can carry perilous diseases and ticks that may cause nasty and infectious diseases for humans, such as Lyme disease, causing many to feel that hunting is required to protect the general…
