Dataset Description

This file contains the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) land cover utility score (deer LCU score) datasets for every TRS (township, range, and section), township, and county in Illinois, USA. The file is an Excel spreadsheet with a metadata sheet, separate sheets for the deer LCU scores for each spatial level, and a sheet with the data required to replicate how the deer LCU score approach was validated. The deer LCU score is a unitless value, with larger scores corresponding to a spatial unit with more and/or better deer habitat.
