Observed mean estimates (with standard deviation) for 5 body condition variables from adult female mule deer in southwestern Colorado.

Data were collected during early March in a treatment study area (Billy Creek State Wildlife Area – BCSWA) and a reference study area (Buckhorn Mountain). Variables include scaled percent ingesta-free body fat (%IFBF), as well as concentrations for the thyroid hormones: T4 (nanomole/L), T3 (nanomole/L), FT4 (picomole/L), and FT3 (picomole/L).
