White-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann, 1780) is the most widely distributed ungulate in America. In Peru is one of the most prized species for meat, leather and as hunting trophy. To manage a wildlife species, it must be known how the different habitat components meet the species life requisites. The objectives of this study were to identify the components of whitetailed deer habitat during the dry season, develop a model that qualifies habitat quality according to its requisites and use a geographic information system to apply the model spatially identifying and quantifying the areas with di:fferent habitat qualities. The Sauce Grande Sector of the Coto de Caza El Angolo was used as a case study. This model is based on the assumption that the habitat of a species can be described by a Suitability Index (SI) that produces values ranging from O to 1, where O represents a non habitat si te and 1 a site that is optimal habitat where the species fully meets all its life requisites. A total of six variables for the model were identified, representing the four components of habitat: F or food, the number of species eaten by deer and the importance value of the species; for water, distances to water hales; for space, slope; for coverage, distance between trees (thermal cover) and density of shrubs and herbaceous (protection cover). The model indicates that even in the dry season, 89% of the Sauce Grande Sector of the Coto de Caza El Angolo is comprised of habitat of high or very high quality (IH ~ 0.6). The main limiting factor for the quality ofhabitat is the availability ofwater.
