They primarily reside on winter ranges in the Izzenhood Basin and upper Rock Creek drainages in western Elko County and northern Lander County.  From their winter range, mule deer in this sub population migrate approximately 70 miles to summer ranges in the northern Independence Mountains and Bull Run Basin area. Some of the most important stopover areas are located near upper Rock Creek, Toe Jam Mountain, and Chicken Creek Summit.  Challenges to this deer herd include past wildfires on winter range, conversion of native shrub habitats to exotic annual grasses, and lower primary production in some stopover sites. \nThese data provide the location of migration routes for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Izzenhood herd, Nevada. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models (Sawyer et al. 2009) using  87 migration sequences collected from a sample size of  35 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-25 hours.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9O2YM6I", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5f8db54382ce32418791d534.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5f8db54382ce32418791d534", "keyword": ["Battle Mountain", "Izzenhood", "Nevada", "USA", "USGS:5f8db54382ce32418791d534", "animal behavior", "biota", "migration (organisms)", "migratory species", "routes"], "modified": "2022-08-27T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-117.1507, 40.8146, -115.6384, 41.7694", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Migration routes of mule deer in the Izzenhood herd, Nevada"}
