Moose Survey Procedures Development
Gasaway WC. 1978. Moose Survey Procedures Development. Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Game Division. Juneau, AK
Because of inherent inadequacies of transect and contour surveys as census methods, the quadrant sampling technique described by Evans et al. (1966) was investigated and modified for additional use in Alaska. Fifty-two moose were equipped with radio collars in three distinct physiographic areas in Interior Alaska (Tanana Flats, Tanana Hills, and foothills of the Alaska Range) to assess variations in sightability due to type and intensity of the survey, environmental factors, and moose behavior. Field work was initiated in October 1976.
