Abstract
This paper looks at the use of snowmobile trails and the resulting noise pollution within Haliburton Forest from the perspective of the effect on white tailed deer.
Beginning with a literature review of the effects of noise on ungulates, the paper moves to present a preliminary field study investigating techniques and feasibility of a study that would explore the effect of snowmobile noise on ungulates within the forest. The final section presents a proposal for a 2003-2004 study of snowmobile noise pollution on white tailed deer disturbance and movement within Haliburton Forest, describing methods, equipment and sampling notes.
