Influence des modes de chasse sur la structure des populations de femelles du cerf rouge (Cervus elaphus L. 1758, Mammalia, Cervidae) en Belgique

A sample of 150 jaws of hinds was collected from 1982 to 1984 in two different areas (Hautes Fagnes and Ardenne) where two different methods of hunting are applied. The age of the animals was determined by using tooth wear annual layers. Life tables showed that there are no high differences in the structure of the two populations according to the kind of hunting.
