Abstract

Data from white-tailed deer harvested within Black Rock Forest, Cornwall, New York are collected annually. Trained staff measure mass, antler beam diameter, and teat length (since 2010), estimate age via dentition, count antler points, and assess sex on all field-dressed deer. Heart girth, measured as chest circumference, was recorded from 1984 to 1998.
