    • Data for Moose Population Survey on Western Yukon Flats NWR - Spring, March 2013

    Metadata Updated: March 15, 2025

    A moose population survey was conducted on the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge in March 2013. Moose were counted in 101 of 421-5.3 mi2 units, of which 68 were stratified high moose density and 33 low density. The estimate for the 2,269 mi2 survey area in the western Yukon Flats (Alaska Game Management Unit [GMU] 25D) was 460 total observable moose (95% CI; 345-575). Density of moose was 0.20/mi2 or 0.08/km2. The population was comprised of 364 adults (95% CI; 269-458) and 103 calves (63-143). Search time averaged 6.3 minutes/mi2. The number of calves was high relative to other spring surveys, but the reasons for this are not known. There was no detectable trend in spring numbers of total observable moose. Moose on the Yukon Flats continue to persist at low densities, which has been documented for >50 years. Continued conservative management of harvest is recommended.
