Wildlife Management Unit 258 Aerial Ungulate Survey (2016)

Presents the results of an aerial survey of ungulates in Wildlife Management Unit 258 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.
