Abstract

Collection of 4 years of data facilitated modelling the moose (Alces alces) population in a 269 km2 study area adjacent to Algonquin Park, Ontario. Modelling indicated that a minimum immigration of 7 males and 6 females annually would be necessary to maintain population numbers in the study area while sustaining a controlled hunt. Immigrants would likely come from Algonquin Park.
