A Stratified Random Block (SRB) survey adapted from Gasaway et al. (1986) was conducted for moose in MU 7-42 of the Peace Region to monitor moose population trend and estimate demographic parameters. The MU has previously been surveyed in 2001, 1993, and 1989. MU 7-42 is part of the Northeast Rockies Game Management Zone (GMZ).

Audience:  Government and Public

MU 7-42 is located approximately 150 km southwest of Fort Nelson (Figure 1). MU 7-42 has large areas within the Spruce-Willow-Birch and Boreal White and Black Spruce Biogeoclimatic Zones, with western high elevation areas within the Boreal Altai Fescue Alpine Zone (Meidinger and Pojar 1991). MU 7-42 supports both resident and non-resident licenced hunters, and provides an important source of sustenance to local First Nations. The objectives of the survey were to obtain: 1- a population density estimate for moose in MU 7-42 with a 90% CI of +/-25% or lower (RISC 2002); 2- estimates of demographic parameters for the MU 7-42 moose population (bulls/100 cows, calves/100 cows).
