Annual census of wildlife populations is a valuable tool for monitoring the stability, growth, and health of populations of many wildlife species. Conducting surveys on white-tailed deer populations is an important technique for proper management and harvest in Texas.
Other census techniques such as migratory songbird call counts, roadside quail surveys, time area counts for small mammals, and drift fences for reptiles and amphibians are just a few types of survey methods that may be used to estimate populations of other wildlife.
Determine the best census technique for the target wildlife species found on the property and keep good records.
