okay, you made me look

To help answer this question, researchers from the University of Washington and other institutions monitored the behavior and activity of wolves and deer in Washington for three years. They found that mule deer exposed to wolves, in particular, are changing their behavior to spend more time away from roads, at higher elevations and in rockier landscapes.

Very interesting and a first time I have seen this study

another intresting thing I have been noticing over the years is the number of studies SCI is involved in.

Higher and rockier and less productive.

intresting article and one piece of the puzzle in regards to deer populations

Could also be implications for other species. Some speculate that in The last twenty years since wolf populations expanded noticeably that species like moose started to avoid the open. My experience is we notice the moose are back in heavier bush when predators are common (ie hear them howling, lots of tracks, etc).

Wildlife behaviour science is becoming sad.

Biologists have written such reports for centuries.

Yet somehow we keep on believing that this is something new....
