Body
Irby et al. reported the perceptions that commercial agriculture producers have about the effect wild ungulate grazing has on their crops and pasture land. The majority of the ranchers surveyed said they felt that wildlife damage was not a severe problem. White-tail deer were the most abundant noted, being found on 81% of the ranches surveyed, while elk were only counted as present on 21% of the ranches. Damage to pasture land was the highest response by the ranchers surveyed.
