Abstract
The deer Mazama temama has a wide range in the tropical rain forest of Mexico, but the IUCN classifies it as Data Deficient, and information is urgently need for management and conservation. Here we assess which population density estimation model is more appropriate among those by Tyson (1959), Mandujano and Jones (2005) and Crego and Macri (2009). We compare them with field data from Tepetla (Puebla, Mexico), from 2015 to 2017, with three replicates in the wet season and three in dry season. An ANOVA indicated that the three methods produce equivalent results.
Highlights
In Mexico there are five species of deer, including the Central American red brocket deer (Mazama temama, Kerr, 1792) (Groves & Grubb, 1987; Barbanti, González & Maldonado, 2008)

Some local and indigenous communities in Mexico are close to this species because they have a cultural, religious, historical and alimentary linkage
Summary
In Mexico there are five species of deer, including the Central American red brocket deer (Mazama temama, Kerr, 1792) (Groves & Grubb, 1987; Barbanti, González & Maldonado, 2008). It has a wide range in the tropical rain forest of Mexico, from Tamaulipas, following the slope of the Gulf, to the south and southeast (Pérez-Solano & Mandujano, 2013). In the central-eastern region of Mexico (Puebla), there is a tropical rain forest relict in the Sierra Negra with over 27 000 ha fit for the species (INAFED, 2010; Villarreal et al, 2014). The objective of this work was to determinate what population
