Sullivan M. 1947. Summary Report on Deer Studies Conducted on Mount Desert Island from 1938 to March 1, 1947. National Park Service. Bar Harbor, ME
Very useful summary of deer research conducted 1938-1947. Highlights: In 1944, 33 plots were established by Goodrum to be used for quantitative browse studies. In September 1945 that number was increased to 110 by McDougall (could not locate his report). S. Aldous (pers. comm.) August 1946 said '10-15 deer per section is maximum number of deer this area can support.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Richardson Brook
