Table 1.
Candidate models used to predict the probability of feeding for mature male (≥3.5 years-old), immature male (≤2.5 years-old), adult female (≥1.5 years-old), and juvenile (<1.5 years-old) white-tailed deer at feeding sites in Harris County, GA, USA (September-January 2013 and 2014).
Table 2.
Model selection results for models used to predict the probability of feeding for mature male (≥3.5 years-old), immature male (≤2.5 years-old), adult female (≥1.5 years-old), and juvenile (<1.5 years-old) white-tailed deer at feeding sites in Harris County, GA, USA (September-January 2013 and 2014).
Models presented received the most support of our candidate models (ΔAICc <2).
