Hazard ratio models assessing the influence of landscape covariates on the predation risk of radio-collared white-tailed deer fawns to 12 weeks of age in northern Georgia, USA 2018–2020.

Model sets were developed using a hypothesis-based approach associated with landscape heterogeneity (Hypothesis 1), land cover (Hypothesis 2), and fawn predator evasion (Hypothesis 3). Models used a subset of fawns (n = 54) including only those that survived or succumbed to predation.
