Description

Results from an aerial ungulate survey conducted in Alberta’s Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 440 from February 18 and 19, 2020. The objective of the survey was to assess the feasibility of distance sampling to survey for moose in a mountain/foothill WMU and to establish a baseline status of moose in WMU 440. Specific objectives were to determine a population estimate, population ratio for sex and age classes, and a density estimate for moose in WMU 440. Incidental observations of other ungulates were also recorded, but there were too few observations to determine a population estimate.
