We used an extensive network of field plots and global positioning system (GPS) collars deployed on cattle within four experimental pastures, each containing a mix of uncut forest, clear cut forest, partially harvested areas, and in-block haul roads, to examine habitat preferences during mid-summer grazing in 2008 and 2009.
The country also lacks clear cut boundaries that define rural areas from urban areas which made the mapping exercise a challenge.
