Abstract:
Data was acquire during aerial and ground surveys conducted by Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks from 1989 to 2001 (not inclusive)in Sheep District 213 and Deer/Elk Districts 214,291,212. Sheep Districts do not necessarily coincide with the boundaries of other species. These aerial surveys are conducted annually to count and classify Bighorn sheep in the area. Data are used by Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks in their management responsibilities to set hunting seasons, determine population trends, and identify critical habitats. Observations were recorded on data forms and locations either plotted on USFS Maps (Deerlodge National Forest) or recorded by specific location.
Purpose:
The purpose of the project is to digitize existing wildlife data for use in the Natural Resource Damage Program. The data is intended to aid in NRDP project planning and implementation by identifying key wildlife habitats.
