Description

Annual surveys for mountain goats have been conducted in the Willmore Wilderness Park and adjacent areas since 1974, to collect data on population trends, distribution and herd composition, and to monitor the status of these mountain goat herds. The objectives of this survey were to assess the status of mountain goat populations in the three hunted complexes in Willmore Wilderness Park. An additional complex was also assessed to inform general population trends. Aerial surveys are the primary method used to assess the population size, distribution, population trends and herd composition of ungulates in Alberta. This information supports the effective management and conservation of ungulates, and is used to set hunting licence allocations, identify areas with agricultural depredation problems, and determine priority areas for recovery actions.

Description

This plan represents the Fish and Wildlife Division’s goals, objectives and management strategies for the management of mountain goats in Alberta. It will periodically be reviewed and updated as necessary. Implementation will be subject to priorities established during the budgeting process. This plan includes historical information up to the spring of 2001. Therefore, the limited hunting season, opened in Goat Management Area A in the fall of 2001, is not reflected in the plan. It will be included when the plan is updated in the future.
