ABSTRACT

Satellite tracking data obtained for Cape Bathurst, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East barren-ground caribou during March 1996 to May 2004 were analyzed to define the seasonal and cumulative ranges of each of these herds. Location data were grouped into the following 8 seasons: calving/post calving (1-25 June), early summer (26 June-15 July), mid summer (16 July-7 August), late summer (8 August-7 October), fall/rut (8-31 October), fall/post rut (1-30 November), winter (1 December-31 March), and spring, spring migration, and pre-calving (1 April-31 May). Seasons used were similar to those defined for the Porcupine caribou herd. Maps showing the geographic extent of the seasonal and cumulative ranges used by each herd are provided.
