The seasonal value of dense softwood, a habitat type that occurs as a high percentage of the wintering area, is masked by its relatively large denominator. Dense softwood is selected for in winter, but relatively unused in relation to its frequency of occurrence. Cover Use and Snow Preference levels for cover varied between winters (Figure 3). As the most variable factor between winters was snow accumulation (Figure 1), it is evident that snow depth had a pro- nounced effect on the choice deer were making of cover types. In winter 1971 -72, the percentage of relocations in dense softwoods increased from to while snow depth increased from.
