Aerial woodland caribou surveys in Game Management Zone 12, Mackenzie Mountains, N.W.T., February-March, 1970 / by Norman M. Simmons.: CW66-987/1970E-PDF
"Winter range of woodland caribou was delineated between 62 °30'N and 65 °N, Mackenzie Mountains, in February and March, 1970. That range covered about 4,210 square miles and was characterized by relatively gentle terrain, fairly open spruce forest, and wide drainage valleys. The group sizes of the 840 caribou observed ranged from 2 to 80. There was no evidence of complete migration from one area to another, though the caribou were leaving some areas in large numbers. Caribou using mineral licks were in groups of from 2 to 50 individuals. The range included an area that has been hunted intensely by Indians from Fort Norman for caribou for at least the past 6 years. They killed between 60 and 100 caribou each year, mostly pregnant females. An effort is being made to determine whether they are hunting the same herd unit every year"--Abstract, page [1].
