  • White-Tailed Deer Management and Pine Savanna Restoration in the Southeastern Coastal Plain the Ichauway Approach
    COASTAL PLAIN WHITETAILS White-tailed deer management and pine savanna restoration in the southeastern Coastal Plain The Ichauway Approach The intent of this publication is to provide information from our white-tailed deer management and monitoring programs, in the context of longleaf management and restoration at Ichauway. We have attempted to demonstrate how desirable deer herds can be maintained on properties managed with “non-traditional” white-tailed deer management objectives. It is our experience that managing for quality habitats can have a net-positive impact on white- tailed deer herds in the southeastern Coastal Plain. In making natural resource decisions, we encourage land owners and managers to consider multiple resource objectives and the promotion of quality habitats. It is also important to note that there is a wealth of information and technical assistance regarding habitat management available through state forest and wildlife management agencies, universities, and non-governmental organizations. In addition, we have taken the opportunity to present some information on the history and habitats of white-tailed deer in the Coastal Plain along with several emerging issues relative to deer management in the Southeast. Brandon T. Rutledge Conservation Wildlife Biologist Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway 1 White-tailed Deer in the Coastal Plain Historically, white-tailed deer were abundant and occupied most of the habitats present across the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States, utilizing upland, bottomland, and coastal areas. Estimates of deer populations during this pre-settlement time period range from 10–100 deer per square mile. Deer were a vital resource for Native Americans providing an important source of food and materials for clothing and tools (McCabe and McCabe 1984).

  • Habitat Selection of Wild Turkeys in Burned Longleaf Pine Savannas
    The Journal of Wildlife Management; DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21114 Research Article Habitat Selection of Wild Turkeys in Burned Longleaf Pine Savannas ANDREW R. LITTLE,1 Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA MICHAEL J. CHAMBERLAIN, Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA L. MIKE CONNER, Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway, Newton, GA 39870, USA ROBERT J. WARREN, Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA ABSTRACT Frequent prescribed fire (3 yr) and selective harvest of off-site hardwoods are the primary restoration and management tools for pine (Pinus spp.) savannas in the southeastern United States. However, a knowledge gap exists in our understanding of eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) habitat selection in longleaf pine savannas and research is warranted to direct our future management decisions. Therefore, we investigated habitat selection of female turkeys in 2 longleaf pine savanna systems managed by frequent fire in southwestern Georgia during 2011–2013. We observed differential habitat selection across 2 scales (study area and seasonal area of use) and 3 seasons (fall-winter: 1 Oct–30 Jan; pre-breeding: 1 Feb–19 Apr; and summer: 16 Jun–30 Sep). During fall-winter, turkeys selected mature pine, mixed pine-hardwoods, hardwoods, and young pine stands, albeit at different scales. During pre-breeding, turkeys selected for mature pine, mixed pine-hardwoods, hardwoods, young pine, and shrub-scrub, although at different scales. During summer, turkeys also demonstrated scale-specific selection but generally selected for mature pine, hardwoods, and shrub-scrub.

  • Ecology of Bobcats in a Longleaf Pine Forest In
    ECOLOGY OF BOBCATS IN A LONGLEAF PINE FOREST IN SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA by JESSICA CHOTARD COCHRANE (Under the direction of Robert J. Warren) ABSTRACT There is little known about bobcat ecology within longleaf pine forests. Therefore, I examined home range size, home range and core area overlap, habitat selection, and diet of bobcats within a longleaf pine forest in southwestern Georgia. Male and female home range sizes varied seasonally. Intersexual home range and core area overlap was greater than intrasexual overlap. Across the entire study site, bobcats selected certain habitats within the study site when establishing their home range; habitat selection within the home range was much less prominent. Habitat selection at the home range scale did not vary among sexes or seasons. However, female bobcats selected habitats within their home range seasonally. Bobcat diet was predominately composed of rodents throughout the 2-year study, but there was some variation between years. Our results suggest that bobcats select habitat for establishing a home range based on prey availability.

    Tall Timbers eJournalSPRING 2015 What is TALL TIMBERS? We are Stewards of Wildlife and Wildlands Join us! The history of Tall Timbers Research Station & Land Conservancy begins with Henry L. Beadel. In his will, Beadel left his hunting plantation and resources to create “a fire type nature preserve … to conduct research on the effects of fire on quail, turkey and other wildlife, as well as on vegetation of value as cover and food for wildlife, and experiments on burning for said objectives.” In1958, Tall Timbers Research Station was established and Beadel’s legacy began.The goal of our research is to better understand the ecology of our ecosystems and apply that understanding toward better land stewardship. Our stewardship ethic supports productive and sustainable use of land, including hunting and forestry, in a manner that maintains ecosystem health and native wildlife populations. Established in 1990, the nationally accredited Tall Timbers Land Conservancy has become one of the largest regional land trusts in the country, conserving over 130,000 acres of land from Tallahassee, Florida to Albany, Georgia. Our conservation easements protect working lands that provide critical upland wildlife habitat and intact wetland ecosystems, vital to the health and wellbeing of the region. The Land Conservancy also works closely with communities on “smart growth” planning and advocacy, and is engaged in coordinating a Greater Red Hills Awareness Initiative to enhance local awareness and understanding of the importance of the Red Hills region and increase support for its long-term conservation.

    ECOLOGY OF BOBCATS ON LAND MANAGED FOR NORTHERN BOBWHITE IN SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA by IVY AYN GODBOIS (Under the direction of Robert J. Warren) ABSTRACT Bobcats are considered a quail predator by many quail managers; therefore, it is important for quail managers to understand bobcat ecology. We examined how quail management practices, such as supplemental feeding, prescribed burning, and creation of food plots, affected bobcat home range, movement, and diet. We found that home range size was affected by food plots, but not supplemental feeding, and that movement rates were highest in the evening. Bobcats were attracted to supplemental feeding, but not recently burned areas. Bobcats selected food plots in their home range, and selected mixed pine/hardwood areas throughout the study site. Bobcat diet was mainly made up of rodent. Scat containing deer degraded faster; therefore, deer may be underestimated in diet studies using scat. Bobcat ecology appears driven by prey availability, and bobcats may be beneficial to quail by preying on nest predators.
