Influence of age and sex on dressed–whole weight relationships in a California black-tailed deer population. California Fish and Game, 94(3), pp. 137-142.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/5989Relationships of dressed and whole body weights were evaluated among age-sex categories in 54 female and 46 male black-tailed deer, Odocoileus hemionus columbianus. Using model selection techniques we found that regressions between dressed and whole body weight differed between the sexes and among age categories. Dressed-whole body weight relationships varied among female and male age categories and between the sexes. Dressed-whole body weight relationships should be site- and season-specific to obtain unbiased estimates of whole body weight because of season, geographic variation in morphology, and nutritional state.Text6 pages1 file (.pdf)enblack-tailed deerodocoileus hemionus columbianusdressed-whole body weight relationshipsBiologyArticle
