First, big game animals are very mobile and may be found anywhere in <br />the vicinity of the study area. Second, depending upon the cover where an animal is <br />located during the survey, its observability changes dynamically. At no time does a <br />fixed wing census constitute a total animal count. <br />• <br />• <br />0 <br />
