Table I.

Descriptive statistics for white-tailed deer distributions (represented by 1 km2 pixels) predicted in an area of south Texas, using information from the normalized difference vegetation index and an estimated baseline (non-seasonal) deer distribution (427 292 deer in 30 592 herds, spatially represented as pixels). Seasonal-specific mean number of deer (13.96) predicted per herd (pixel) in the study area was constant.
