Sheep surveys and a four-year investigation of Dall’s sheep home ranges were initiated to monitor and assess Dall’s sheep population dynamics in the central Brooks Range near Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska in March of 1998. This project was established with the following objectives: identify Dall’s sheep sub-populations and determine band sizes; determine home ranges, seasonal distribution, and range fidelity of the identified subpopulations; assess harvest potential of the bands; develop an economical and accurate annual trend survey technique, and; continue the exchange of information regarding Dall’s sheep populations in the central Brooks Range with Anaktuvuk Pass residents.
