Final Methods
This was an opportunity project where a landowner was already doing a range improvement project and the DWR was able to contribute to a more diverse and beneficial to wildlife seed mix. This area has been identified by DWR biologist as being forb limited when considering mule deer habitat. With the seed mix being augmented with forbs it provides more benefit to mule deer. The landowner ran the drill with the tire roller attached behind his tractor over the area that he had harrowed. The rangeland drill in conjunction with the tire roller should provide good contact with the seed into the ground.

Project Narrative
The DWR provided some of the forbs and the landowner purchased the rest of the seed mix from Utah Seed in Bothwell. Once the seed was mixed and ready to go the drill and roller were delivered to the project area. The landowner ran the drill and roller behind his tractor. A few issues were encountered with the equipment. One of the outside tires on the roller went flat. The landowner showed concern for our equipment and attempted to get it fixed but that would require complete disassembly so we advised him to just run it flat. One of the rams on the drill was also leaking but that that was a pre-existing thing and it held out through the project. Overall the project went well and was a success in working with the landowner to improve deer habitat.

Future Management
Monitor the success of the project and if there are other acres or landowners in the area that could do similar projects that should be evaluated for treatment. If possible it may be more suitable to complete projects in this area with a broadcaster and chain harrow.
