This study presents a number of conclusions dealing with
changes in vigor, production and growth characteristics of 14 browse species as influenced by deer browsing in the Black Hills.

This study initiated in 1947 within deer-proof exclosures attempts to determine the effect of use variables upon browse productivity. Within four 100 square foot plots annual growth is clipped from browse species at use intensities of 25%, 50%, 75%...

The Annie Creek and Hepler Experimental Range Plots established in 1945 consist of an acre each of Deer Proof, Controlled Browsing and Unfenced at Annie Creek plus an additional Livestock Proof Acre at the Hepler Plots. Deer utilization each...
Range ecology -- South Dakota; Experimental rangelands -- South Dakota; Pittman-Robertson Project (S.D.)
This job, primarily designed to establish use-factors for key browse plants, has been a constant source of frustration during the last seven years, since the normal production of browse even under complete protection has varied from a minus 60...
Range ecology -- South Dakota; Experimental rangelands -- South Dakota; Pittman-Robertson Project (S.D.)
Briefly stated, these studies attempt to determine the degree of competition between deer and domestic livestock, annual forage production, annual utilization of browse by deer, and use-factors for key food plants.
Results of this experiment have...

An aerial inventory was conducted between June 3, and July 8, 1970. The July 1970 population for western South Dakota of 25,100 antelope
indicates an increase of 1,500 animals since the July 1969 inventory. No data was obtained for eastern South...
