The fecal pellet group count technique was used to estimate gray brocket deer density in a protected area in the west of Córdoba province (Chancaní Reserve), Argentina. Seventy plots were surveyed for brocket pellets on two occasions: summer (February) and winter (August). The density of brockets recorded were 4.41 individuals/km² in summer and 5.12 individuals/km² in winter. It was the first count of the species density in the Reserve and constitutes an important management tool for monitoring the population of this species within this protected area, as well as in other similar habitats in the arid Chaco.

La técnica de conteo de pellas fue usada para estimar la densidad de la corzuela parda (Mazama gouazoubira) en un área protegida en el oeste de la provincia de Córdoba (Reserva Chancaní), Argentina. Para el conteo de pellas fueron censadas setenta parcelas en dos ocasiones, verano (febrero) e invierno (agosto). Los resultados obtenidos, 4.41 individuos/km² en verano y 5.12 individuos/km² en invierno, son una primera estimación de la densidad de la especie en la Reserva Chancaní y constituyen una herramienta de manejo para el monitoreo de las poblaciones dentro de esta área protegida, así como para ambientes similares del Chaco árido.
