Calf Crop Dropalarming in Manitoba Caribou Herds
Manitoba conservation officers report a low calf crop among barren-ground caribou. December aerial surveys counted 2,851 caribou with calves at 94 percent of herd size, well below the 25 percent needed for herd maintenance. Predation by wolves was minimal, and authorities urge restraint by native hunters to safeguard next summer’s breeding stock. Herds have declined from about 670,000 in 1950 to an estimated well under 200,000.
