From Here to There and Back Again: A Mule Deer’s Tale
This presentation was given at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West on December 5, 2024, as part of the Draper Natural History Museum's Lunchtime Expedition series.
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are an iconic species of North American wildlife. They symbolize the diverse landscapes of the western United States and play a critical role as an indicator of ecosystem health. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), home to one of the most intact and ecologically significant ecosystems in North America, has long been a stronghold for mule deer populations. However, recent decades have seen significant challenges for mule deer populations across the GYE, driven by factors such as habitat fragmentation, climate change, disease, and increasing human-wildlife conflict.
Through the use of GPS collars, trail cameras and video collar technology, researchers are now able to monitor the migratory patterns, habitat use, environmental interactions, and behavioral changes of deer, providing invaluable insights into how these animals navigate an increasingly fragmented landscape. By understanding the factors influencing mule deer movement, we can better inform conservation efforts and habitat management strategies aimed at ensuring their future in the wild.
The Upper Shoshone mule deer herd located west of Cody, Wyoming, is not immune to the increasing challenges facing all mule deer populations. In the minds of many wildlife managers it is at a pivotal point that will impact the management of this herd into the future. This presentation explores the unique challenges facing mule deer populations within the Upper Shoshone mule deer herd and gives the audience a unique view into the life of the mule deer that lives a life of antithesis-immersed in both human development and remote, untouched wilderness.

Thank-you for explaining the ecology of the Whitebark Pine and white pine blister rust. I just finished watching a Parks Canada's very recent (Alberta/British Columbia Rockies) blog on Parks Canada's progress in planting Whitebark seedlings that had been germinating in-vitro, (I guess?) after seed harvesting in-situ. Whitebark Pine is one of my favourite conifers. Thank you for the depth.
How can we get in contact with Mr. Mionczynski?
Wow. Really enjoyed thank you
What a wonderful presentation.
Incredible information . Thank you
I need some of this herb , antimicrobial , wild parsley .
A brilliant man.
Thank you Doug Smith
this is wonderful presentation, protect North America's wildlife, protect habitat, the era of extirpation is over
long live the mighty Cougar, bounced back on it's own after achieving game status from the bounty era
Thank you Dr. Smith. I am learning about the Wolves. I will purchase your book. The hunters in your video clips remind me that all the hunters are one thing in common. After hunt animals, took proud pictures with big smiles and showcase bloody dead animal bodies with rifles/arrows. Enjoy kill/ watch dying animals. Sick people.
Of course paleo Indians caucasian Hebrew Israelites 10 lost tribes here rest of you is bastards that followed Ephraim to the promise land and God going pluck you off our land. SOON
if humans drove mamoths to extinction, explain me why ALL the other megafauna, including the big dangerous predators went as well ?
Just think for a second that the extinction is not because of hunting but a catastrophic event. Possibly many events that changed the environment. There is a story missing.
Wow totally ignoring all the evidence against clovis first ... Like no clovis style points or technology in the Siberia/ land bridge area and new sites dated 40000 bp ? 😂😂😂
Sticking with Clovis first huh?......
Yup, him and CV Haynes are die hard Clovis First cultists.
@@squatch545 I have a hard time thumbs-up on Clovis first Smitty....
I have found Paleo period points, knives, and other artifacts in southern NM
Excellent presentation on an important subject most people just have a blank spot on.
Lee st. In Louisville KY a mammoth was found 20 ft down with 9 clovis points
didnt they find a mamoth in california,that had smashed bones to extract the marrow?...a human interaction for shure,...it was dated to over 30,000 yrs.
"First currently known people", saying "first people" sends up instant red flags of skepticism. Professional archaeologists are always claiming they have things pegged down and it only serves to preserve misinformation. Why the aversion to the possibility that people were in the Americas long before the mammoth were gone.
I think the black mat layer is something that must be discussed in a lot more detail since it is found all over the world at approximately the same time period. No doubt the Clovis people killed a lot of animals, but I doubt if they were ever able to kill them all. I think that the only obvious reason for the mass extinctions of the large mammals and the Clovis people almost at exactly the time is some type of extremely large comet or meteor strike. Very likely more than one.
Thanks for this. Dr. Smith a wolf GOAT.
Smith's
That much ochre brought in and spread seems unusual for a campsite so short lived. Is it possible people returned there for rituals, especially if this was when the mammoths were truly almost gone? I realize its an impossible question to answer but I've seen sites where pictographs had been ritually overpainted over long (multigenerational) periods. Nice presentation. Thanks.
Dr. I have found some things here in carbon county I believe u would be very interested in. I can email you describing what found with photos attached.
Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge.

Yeah no kidding about the fish stories there Dr Smith. Also the wolf conspiracy theories would make Alex Jones blush. CWD is going to be the crash of 29 for the outfitters and hunting guides.
Thanks for recording and uploading this! I was unable to attend, but interested in the topic, so it was nice to have an alternate way of listening to the speaker.
