California Mule Deer Grizzly Flat Corridors

The Grizzly Flat herd winters in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada near Grizzly Flats, California. The winter range includes conifer, vineyards, and oak woodland that is shared with a resident portion of the herd on a mix of private and public lands. In the spring, the Grizzly Flat herd migrates east to higher elevation terrain in the El Dorado National Forest, staying south of Interstate 50 and primarily north of U.S. Highway 88, to the crest of the Sierra Nevada. The summer range contains primarily mixed conifer opening up to high alpine granite near the crest of the Sierra Nevada. Although the population size of the Grizzly Flat herd is unknown due to limited surveys, it is considered stable to declining, affected primarily by dense overstory, environmental stressors, and habitat loss. This GPS collaring project was designed as part of a region-wide effort to obtain abundance estimates for deer using fecal DNA and home range analyses, with pinpointing migration routes and identifying winter ranges a secondary priority. Due to the small sample size of GPS-tagged mule deer, additional migration routes and winter ranges probably exist beyond the extent of our model output.
These mapping layers show the location of the migration corridors for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Grizzly Flat population in California. They were developed from 16 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 5 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-13 hours.

California Mule Deer East Tehama Winter Range

The East Tehama herd is the largest migratory population of mule deer in California (Hill and Figura, 2020). Population numbers peaked in the 1960s, but have declined in recent decades (Ramsey and others, 1981; California Department of Fish and Wildlife unpublished data). These mule deer migrate from a lower elevation winter range in the foothills east of the Sacramento Valley to upper elevation summer ranges in the southern Cascades and northern Sierra Nevada. Although portions of the herd winter on the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Tehama Wildlife Area and other public lands, the winter range also comprises many private ranchlands. The herd’s summer range includes significant portions of Lassen National Forest as well as Lassen Volcanic National Park and private timberlands. Primarily oak woodlands and annual grasslands characterize the winter range, while the summer range consists of conifer forests, montane meadows, and montane chaparral. Potential threats to the herd include habitat changes resulting from fire management (including fire suppression and catastrophic wildfires), forest succession, vegetation management, and climate change. A small percentage of the herd are residents, inhabiting areas along the Sacramento River and areas of irrigated agriculture.
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the East Tehama population in California. They were developed from 36 sequences collected from a sample size of 33 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-23 hours.

California Mule Deer Downieville-Nevada City Winter Range

The Downieville-Nevada City mule deer herd winters in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. The winter range includes dense conifer and oak woodland that is shared with a resident portion of the herd on a mix of public and private lands. In the spring, the herd migrates north and east of Nevada City on both sides of the middle fork of the Yuba River, staying north of Interstate 80, to high-elevation summer range along the crest of the Sierra Nevada. The summer range is primarily mixed conifer habitat opening up to high alpine granite near the crest of the Sierra Nevada. The population size is unknown due to limited survey capacity, but the population is considered stable to declining, affected primarily by dense overstory, environmental stressors, and habitat loss. This GPS collaring project was designed as part of a region-wide effort to obtain abundance estimates for deer using fecal DNA and home range analyses, with pinpointing migration routes and identifying winter ranges a secondary priority. Due to the small sample size, additional migration routes and winter ranges probably exist beyond the extent of our model output.
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Downieville-Nevada City population in California. They were developed from 10 sequences collected from a sample size of 8 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-13 hours.
