Drop net capture locations (n = 12; four-point stars), central helicopter processing location (five-point star) for single helicopter captures, and the capture area (black outline) for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) research on Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis, Texas, USA, 2011–2015. Map was developed by D. G. Stewart using ArcGIS Pro v3.5.3 (Esri, Redlands, CA, USA).

Factors affecting white-tailed deer survival.
The effects of (a) day since capture (day 0–30), (b) capture method (drop net, single helicopter, and tandem helicopter), (c) sex (female, male), and (d) capture season (cool [spring, autumn, winter], warm [summer]) on Kaplan-Meier survival estimates (with 95% CI) of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis, Texas, USA, 2011–2015.
Fig 3.
Effect of capture method and day since capture on daily distance traveled of white-tailed deer.
Effect of capture method (drop net, single helicopter, tandem helicopters) and day since capture (long-term mean, days 0–30) on daily distance traveled (m/d) of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis, Texas, USA, 2011–2015. Daily estimates that significantly (P ≤ 0.05) deviated from the 30-day mean (black solid line) are represented by red points.
Fig 4.
Effect of capture method, day since capture, and sex on daily displacement of white-tailed deer.
Effect of capture method (drop net, single helicopter, tandem helicopters), day since capture (long-term mean, days 0–30), and sex (female, male) on daily displacement (m/d) of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis, Texas, USA, 2011–2015. Daily estimates that significantly (P ≤ 0.05) deviated from the 30-day mean (black solid line) are represented by red points.

Effect of day since capture on daily range overlap of white-tailed deer.
Effect of day since capture (long-term mean, days 0–30) on daily range overlap (0-1) of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis, Texas, USA, 2011–2015. Daily estimates that significantly (P ≤ 0.05) deviated from the 30-day mean (black solid line) are represented by red points.
