Wildlife Management Unit 500 Moose Aerial Survey (2016)

Presents the results of an aerial survey of moose in Wildlife Management Unit 500 in January 2016. 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.
