Abstract
Incidence and location of deer paths and beds, and browse utilization were studied to determine movements, bedding and foraging behaviour of Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) on winter range situated near human habitation. The results suggest that these behaviours are related to snow depth, slope gradient and the availability of redstem ceanothus (Ceanothus sangiuneus). Canid predators did not independently determine deer behaviour. Deer behaviour was found to be unrelated to air temperature.
