NOTE: This "High Use" segment of the corridor uses all the same metadata as the official migration corridor feature class layer except for the insertion of (High Use) to the Title and the insertion of "the high use segment of" in the Summary. As per the Lineage Statement, high use represented more than 20% of the overall population.

These data represent the WGFD-edited version of statistically-based polygons derived from GPS collar data collected from 42 individual mule deer (120 migration sequences) migrating in the Platte Valley mule deer herd unit (MD541). The data were collected between 2011 and 2013. The GPS data were analyzed using the Brownian Bridge Movement Model (BBMM), which produced polygons based on where animals traversed from winter range to summer range (and back) and how much time they spent along the way. The original data were edited to be more manageable on the ground as the WGFD works with land management agencies during land use planning.
