This study was investigating the relationships between: 1) habitat type and tick abundance, 2) habitat type and tick load on fawns, and 3) tick load and fawn survival. During two years and in two study areas, 105 fawns (57 fawns in Bogesund and 48 fawns in Grimsö) have been captured by hand and equipped with a radio-transmitter. The fawns’ positions have then been triangulated almost every day until they died or had at least 30 positions. The surviving fawns were recaptured when they were estimated to have a weight of 3.6 kg. Ticks were collected from the fawns during both the capture and the recapture. By using the flagging-method, in which a white sheet is dragged along the ground, ticks were also collected from the vegetation. A vegetation map was used to determine the habitat on transects and the home range of the fawns. The study areas showed different results regarding in which habitat the ticks were found. At Grimsö ticks seems to favor deciduous forest and mixed forest not on mires. At Bogesund the favored tick habitat was instead coniferous forest with trees between five to fifteen meters. In Bogesund there was a positive correlation between tick-burden and percent of coniferous forest on lichen-dominated areas that covered fawn home ranges. No relationship could be found between ticks and the survival of the fawns. A positive correlation between surviving days and tick load during first capture could instead be found on fawns that died within 30 days.

A field study was carried out from April 1987 to May 1989 to investigate the ecology of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) living in low-lying farmland in north-east Scotland. The study was conducted on unmarked and marked (mostly radio-collared) animals. The use of available habitats was investigated. The use of crop fields changes with seasons in the same year and in different years according to availability. Fields adjacent to woodlands were heavily used and preferred to fields farther from the woods. Most radio-collared deer used thicket woods during daytime and their use of other habitats varies according to availability in each home range. Aspects of movements and home range were studied. The daily home range size of each radio-collared deer varies from day to day. Seasonal and total home range sizes were generally larger than those found in other studies of roe deer in Britain. The largest seasonal range was observed in winter and the smallest in summer. Nine marked young deer dispersed from their established range from mid to the end of May. Group composition and group size changes seasonally. Members of adjacent groups associate and share common ground but members of distant groups do not. Twenty-nine of 37 woodlands surveyed in the extensive study area were occupied by roe deer. Analysis suggests that deer occupied large woodlands of mixed structural stages with clearings.

Magistro darbe tiriama lauko – krūmynų stirnų (Capreolus capreolus) populiacijos būklė ir tvarkymas Vilkaviškio rajono savivaldybės teritorijoje. Darbo objektas – lauko – krūmynų stirnų populiacijos bei jų naudojimas Vilkaviškio rajono savivaldybės teritorijoje. Darbo tikslas - išnagrinėti lauko-krūmynų stirnų populiacijų būklę Vilkaviškio rajono savivaldybės teritorijoje. Darbo metodai – literatūros loginės ir statistinių duomenų analizė. Darbo rezultatai – Vilkaviškio rajono savivaldybės teritorijos medžioklės ploto vienetai vieni iš palankiausių veistis lauko – krūmynų stirnoms. Šioje teritorijoje buvo sumedžiota 1,39 % stirnų Lietuvos mastu per tiriamus septynerius metus. Kai kuriuose medžioklės ploto vienetuose stirnų populiacija turi tendenciją mažėti. Yra medžioklės plotų, kuriuose dėl išmintingo ūkininkavimo yra palaikoma stabili stirnų populiacija. / This postgraduate thesis examined the field - shrub reo - deer (Capreolus capreolus) population status and management Vilkaviškio the district municipality. Object of the thesis - field - shrub reo - deer population and their use Vilkaviškio the district municipality. Purpose of the thesis – analyse field-shrub Stirnų populations of the state Vilkaviškio the district municipality. Methods of the thesis - logical literature and statistical data anglysis. Rezults of the thesis – Vilkaviškio district units of the territory of the hunting area one of the most favorable reproducing the field – shrub roe deer. In this territory has been hunted the field – shrub roe deer 1.39% level during the seven years in Lithuania. Some of the hunting area units the field – shrub roe deer population has a tendency to decrease. There are hunting areas, where farming is a prudent the field – shrub roe deer maintained a stable population.

The land around Herrevad Abbey consists mostly of pastures with a lot of old coarse oaks, a touch of broad-leaved decidous forest andmixed deciduous and coniferous forest. In the year 2010 the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency became owner of the area around Herrevad Abbey, previously owned by the Swedish National Fortification Administration. A high pressure from hunting occurred during the Swedish National Fortification Administration ownership. This resulted in a decrease of the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) population. A pellet-group count is a reliable, indirect inventory method that is used with high frequence within wildlife management since the 1930s. Pellet-group count is used in Swedish Wildlife research since the 1977 at Grimsö Research Station and today an increasing interest for this method is seen both in nature management, among hunters and  in the Swedish Association for Hunters. Through a pellet-group count of a roe deer population, an underestimated index of the total density is shown, which means that the investigated population can be larger than the survey shows. The pellet-group count in this study covered 3,20 km-2 with a total of 315 plots. The plot had a circular shape and covered 10m2, which is recommended for roe deer surveys. Each plot was investigated twice, one round clockwise and one round counter clock-wise to increase the precision of the survey. The calculation showed 10,76 roe deer per 1,00 km-2 in winter population during 2010; with a 10% set-off for winter mortality and 8,22 roe deer per 1,00 km-2 in winter population with a 30% set-off. The density with 10,76 roe deer /km-2 is low compared to experimental plots at Bogesund, Ekenäs, where the population is estimated to around 17-23 roe deer/ 1,00 km-2. A calculation for carrying capacity shows that the population will reach the density limit within four years at Herrevad Abbey.

This work deals with the evaluation of game management with roe deer and wild boar in hunting Drahotěšice-Radonice in the years 1993-2014. As a material for this work are used data from the records of hunting manager. It evaluates the annual evolution of aggregated states, the amount of hunting and implementation for hunting of roe deer. It is also evaluated catch weight and date of capture of roe deer and wild boars. On the ground of results are set recommendations for the managemet of roe deer and wild boar in hunting.
