  Description:
    Abstract:
      This GIS dataset represents the efforts to map mule deer habitat in North America. Habitat delineations were drawn on 1:250 K USGS quadrangles by regional experts and tablet digitized. Six classes of habitat were delineated and digitized as separate GIS datasets. This dataset represents YEAR-ROUND POPULATION (CLASS F). YEAR-ROUND POPULATION is defined as : An area that provides year-round range fora population of mule deer. The resident mule deer use all of the area all year; it cannot be subdivided into seasonal ranges although it may be included within the overall range of the larger population.
    Purpose:
      This dataset may be used by natural resource managers for planning and management accross large, state and regional landscapes.
