The Dehcho boreal caribou study was initiated in 2004 with the deployment of ten satellite collars on adult female caribou at the request of, and after consultation with Sambaa K’e Dene Band (SKDB) of Trout Lake. Extensive consultations in response to requests from other First Nations since have increased the study area and number of First Nations partners in this study. From 2004-2013 a total of 113 collars (mostly ARGOS DS or GPS) have been deployed on adult female boreal caribou (Appendix 1, Figure 1). A more detailed background history of the program, the collars used, and the deployment procedures can be found in Larter and Allaire (2010). This report provides updated results and new information from another year of data.
