A Carrying Capacity Estimate and Grazing Regime Analysis Based on Pronghorn Preferred Forage in Trans-Pecos, Texas

My name is Jacob Locke and I was raised in Center, Texas, deep in the pineywoods of east Texas. I spent a lot of time hunting and fishing growing up in a small town surrounded by national forests and many lakes. This upbringing in the outdoors led me to study wildlife in college. I graduated from Texas A&M University in May 2018 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences with an emphasis in Wildlife Ecology. I now have the privilege to continue my education in the wildlife ecology field by pursuing a Master of Science degree in Range and Wildlife Management studying pronghorn restoration in Far West Texas. My thesis project is part of the Trans-Pecos Pronghorn Restoration Project. More specifically, I am developing a carrying capacity estimate for pronghorn in the two main restoration areas, as well as conducting an analysis on how different cattle grazing regimes affect pronghorn forage production.
