Nationwide study of whitetail stomach contents - where to fi

Unread postby Horizontal Hunter » Sun Dec 27, 2015 10:35 am

The book Whitetail Hunting Tactics of the Pros:Expert Advice To Help You Be A Successful Hunter is a collection of articles by professional hunters.

In the article "Little Known Facts About Whitetails" written by John Weiss he refers to a national study on whitetail stomach contents.

Specifically he states: "in a nationwide study of whitetail stomach contents, it was determined that the animals regularly feed upon 614 different varieties of plants."

I would like to read the study but there is no citation for the study at the end of the article or in the back of the book. I have googled it without success as well.

Have any of you heard about this study? Do You have any idea where I can find it?

Thanks,

Bob

Haven't found a national one, but the universities typically have them for their regions.

Thanks for the reply. I will take a look.

The reason this study interested me was that it was nationwide and I was interested in seeing the overlap. The other thing that interested me was the low number. I always though they are a wider variety of plants.
