MNR Conducting Winter Moose Survey


The Ministry of Natural Resources is conducting aerial surveys of moose herds in 9 wildlife management units in Northwestern Ontario this winter.

The surveys will help the MNR determine the population and how it will impact the distribution of hunting tags.

Spokesperson Jolanta Kowalski has the current statistics.

Kowalski says a number of factors are used to determine what management units will be monitored including the time from the last survey as well as the estimated population condition.
