- Abstract
- Vector data from map produced by the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) in 2008. The map depicts deer density (deer per square mile) across the eastern United States. The coarse density levels should not be used to represent current or future deer densities across the study region.
- Purpose
- In 2008, the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) developed a map of white-tailed deer density with information obtained from state wildlife agencies. The map contains information from 2001 to 2005, with noticeable changes since the development of the first deer density map made by QDMA in 2001. The University of Minnesota, Forest Ecosystem Health Lab and the US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service-Northern Research Station have digitized the deer density map to provide information on the status and trends of forest health across the eastern United States.

- Currentness Reference
- Estimates include data from 2001-2005. Map that data were digitized from was published in 2008.
