Methodology

Clear Creek Caribou, a northern mountain herd, were the focal species for this project. Reconnyx HyperFire 2 Trail Cameras were strategically deployed in caribou habitat across a gradient of disturbance. CH cameras were accessed by helicopter and CR cameras were accessed by road. All cameras were placed on game trails approximately 1.7m above the ground, and approximately 2-4m away from (but facing) the trail . O’Gorman’s Long Distance Call Lure was applied annually to holes drilled into a scent tree, or where necessary into ground vegetation or rocks, located 4-7m from the camera within the field of view. Cameras were programmed to take a single time-lapse photo daily at noon to monitor environmental changes and verify functionality. Upon heat or motion activation, cameras captured a burst of five consecutive photos with no delay between activations. Cameras were moved if >5 independent photos of humans were captured, no target species were detected, or if there was an active dwelling or camp within 1km.
