Description
We estimated annual survivorship for a high-density population of Columbian black-tail deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) located on Blakely Island, WA by using opportunistically collected, non-hunter killed skulls and extracting the first lower molar and determined the age at death by counting cementum annuli. We wanted to know how long deer live without predators and if survivorship differed between males and females.
