Abstract: In response to an increasing need for an effective method to evaluate land for its potential to support wildlife populations, a land evaluation methodology in relation to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann) populations was developed. Deer winter and non-winter habitat requirements were related to environmental factors obtained through the habitat classification. The biological uses of habitat resources by white-tailed deer were identified. Seasonal compatibility matrices between the habitat resources and the biological uses were established. A habitat resource inventory of 256, 1-km² cells was done using a computer-based analysis; the potential of the cells to support deer populations on a seasonal basis was determined. Comparisons between the habitat evaluation maps with other mapping efforts and with deer population indices suggested the study method was an acceptable approach to habitat evaluation of white-tailed deer. It was concluded that the habitat evaluation methodology could serve as a useful tool to the wildlife manager and recreational land use planner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
