A modification of Jacobson et al.'s (1997) individual branch‐antlered male method for censusing white‐tailed deer by Mark Weckel, Robert F. Rockwell, Frank Secret

“…In 2009, using camera‐trap data from the Mianus River Gorge Preserve (NY), we modified the IBAM technique to 1) generate measures of uncertainty for parameter estimates via bootstrapping camera stations, and 2) address the concern that RPO ratios may be biased if groups of animals differ in their probability of being photographed (e.g., trap success [TS]). For each sex–age group, we evaluated RPO as a function of TS using linear regression to generate photographic counts standardized by TS (standardized photographic occurrences [SPO]). …”
