Factors Affecting Moose Populations in Central BC

Factors Affecting Moose Populations in Central BC

It’s no mystery to hunters that Moose populations in certain areas of the province have declined sharply in the last few years.  In some areas declines as much as 50-70% were reported via recent population surveys.  In February of 2012 a 5 year provincially-coordinated moose research project began to determine moose population change in relation to mountain pine beetle and salvage logging.  The PDF below are the results so far in a nicely laid out summary.
