Winter Ranges of Mule Deer in the Pueblo of Santa Ana Herd in New Mexico

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) of the Pueblo of Santa Ana herds are primarily non-migratory, with two distinct winter ranges separated by U.S. Route 550. The winter ranges consist primarily of Chihuahuan semi‐desert grassland, dominated by black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda), galleta (Pleuraphis jamesii), mesa dropseed (Sporobolus flexuosus), and fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens), with higher elevation sections consisting of pinyon-juniper woodland and juniper savannah. There was no movement between the two winter ranges, with only individuals from the winter range northeast of US 550 crossing the highway west of the Jemez Canyon Reservoir. Two individuals from the winter range northeast of US 550 migrated to the southern slopes of the Jemez Mountains, with one of those individuals migrating to the winter range of the Jemez Springs herd. US 550 and Interstate 25 to the southeast may limit movements for both herds, with any potential migration to the Jemez Mountains by individuals from the winter range southwest of US 550 needing to cross the US 550 and any potential migration to the Sandia Mountains by individuals from the winter range northeast of US 550 needing to cross Interstate 25. These data provide the location of winter ranges for Mule Deer from the Pueblo of Santa Ana Herd in New Mexico. They were developed from Brownian Bridge movement models collected from a sample size of 29 adult mule deer comprising GPS locations collected every 2 or 4 hours.
