Description

Moose populations in Wildlife Management Unit 359 declined abruptly following a winter tick outbreak over 2006 and 2007, and numbers have been slow to recover. The objectives of this survey were to assess the status of moose and mule deer since the previous 2008 area survey, and determine a population estimate, population ratios for sex and age classes, and a density estimate for moose and mule deer within WMU 359. 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.
