Eckstein, R. G., & Rongstad, O.J. (1973). Effects of snowmobiles on the movements of white-tailed deer in Northern Wisconsin. Proceedings of the Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference.

Abstract

Studies in northern Wisconsin evaluated the effects of snowmobile use on white-tailed deer in wintering yards. Movements and activities of tele-metered deer were compared between a yard receiving snowmobile use and one with no use. Some deer showed avoidance of snowmobile trails while machines were present, but no significant changes in home range size or daily movement patterns were observed.
