Migration Routes of Mule Deer in the Wyoming Range North Population in Wyoming

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

Mule deer in the northern Wyoming Range population use winter ranges in the area between Big Piney and LaBarge. During spring, these deer generally move northwesterly to high-elevation summer ranges in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges. Interchange with deer in the Sublette herd unit has been documented, with some individuals migrating northwest into Upper Green River drainages. At least one individual migrated 85 mi (137 km) north and summered north of the town of Jackson. Challenges for Wyoming Range mule deer include energy development on winter ranges, vehicle collisions on U.S. Highway 189 between LaBarge and Big Piney, severe winters leading to high episodic mortality, and disease. These data provide the location of migration routes for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Wyoming Range North population in Wyoming. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models using 159 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 56 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-8 hours.
