During our study, we assessed the effectiveness of the mitigation measures in reducing mule deer mortality in the following ways: 1) we compared the number of deer\u2010vehicle collisions in the newly fenced area with a control area without fencing; 2) we analyzed the \u2018end\u2010of\u2010the\u2010fence\u2019 problem, defined here as increased mortality of mule deer at the ends of the 2.4\u2010m high exclusion fences; and 3) we evaluated the frequency of animal crossings of the new underpasses using remotely\u2010sensed cameras and compared them with crossing frequency rates for a 20\u2010year\u2010old control underpass. We compared six years of pre\u2010construction mortality (during 1998\u20102003) with two years of post\u2010construction data on mortality (during 2005\u20102006) and found a 98.5% decline in deer mortalities in the treatment (i.e. fenced, jump\u2010outs and underpasses) vs a 2.9% decline in the control (i.e. no fences, no jump\u2010outs and no underpasses). We detected no end\u2010of\u2010the\u2010fence problems related to deer mortality. Migratory movements during fall and spring were clearly reflected in the use of underpass. Overall results demonstrated that the mitigation strategy was effective and reduced the number of deer\u2010vehicle accidents, while allowing wildlife movement across the landscape.\n
