Unfortunately, by this time the Kaibab forest area had already been overgrazed by sheep, cattle, and horses. 0000001433 00000 n Portions of the Kaibab North herd in Arizona and the Paunsaugunt Plateau herd in Utah share a common winter range along the Arizona and Utah border. The Kaibab Plateau is one of the most beautiful places in Arizona and is home to one of the greatest mule deer herds on earth. Preserve to protect the "finest deer herd in America." In the decades that followed, biologists used the popular story of the Kaibab deer to demonstrate the adverse effect of predator control on prey populations. Unfortunately, by this time the Kaibab forest area had already been overgrazed by sheep, cattle, and horses. In 1923: allowed hunting to reduce the population of deer.

The deer herd on the Kaibab Plateau was the focus of major controver- sies between the National Park Service and the USDA Forest Service, a landmark dispute between Arizona and the federal government over wildlife and hunting rights, and even a colorful attempt to drive deer across the Grand Canyon that was fic- tionalized in a novel by Zane Grey (Grey 1924; Young 2002). The two fundamentals that any trophy quality herd of animals must have are genetics and age class. reduced the number of grazing animals in the area to give deer more room. 0000007269 00000 n In addition, in 1907, The Forest Service tried to exterminate the predators of the deer.

But in doing so, he unintentionally wrote the first chapter of a harsh lesson whose impact is felt to this day in every deer management plan on the continent. The deer population then crashed as swiftly as it had grown. The Kaibab Deer Investigating Committee recommended that all livestock not owned by local residents be removed immediately from the range and that the number of deer be cut in half as quickly as possible.

On November 28th, 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve to protect the "finest deer herd in America." Thus, the most suited population that would not degrade the environment, but still inhabit the place comfortably would be close to, but not more than the carrying capacity (Allen, 2013). The Kaibab deer are particularly important because of the changes in their population during the early 1900s.
