It's pretty cool....
http://www.i-maps.com/Qdma/frame/de...=0&NID=0&cmd=map&TL=100000&GL=010100&MF=11000
BUT, 2 questions....
1. Assuming that the very light blue-green means NO whitetails (mule deer & blacktail areas, or devoid of deer), why on earth is there such a large region in N.W. Mississippi with this color, when the rest of the south is so highly populated, and there are adjacent areas to this no-whitetail area with over-45 per sq mi areas? Is there a large desert in MS I wasn't aware of?
2. There are supposed to be just 3 shades of tan - lightest means 15-30 per sq mil, medium tan means 30-45 per sq mi, and dark tan means over 45 per sq. mi. The problem with that is if you zoom in to a particular area, and bring out more detail on the map, there are actually FOUR shades of tan, not three - there are those 3, plus a "very light" tan - lighter than the light tan, which coincides (mostly with multiple exceptions) with urban and suburban areas - and this color is not defined. Since the dark green means "less than 15 per sq. mi", then what does the very light tan mean? Less than 5 or what?
Also interesting how whitetail populations in Montana run along rivers only, in the midst of mulie territory
