If those helicopters aren't tracking what lies below the surface of , they are counting sheep on the surface!
Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists began conducting low-altitude helicopter flights to assess big game herds across the Southeast Region on Dec. 2 from Leadville to Trinidad.
Flights conducted west of I-25 involved both surveys of herds and some capture work.
Those flights will occur in South Park, the Upper Arkansas River Valley, the Pikes Peak Region, the Sangre de Cristo mountains, the Wet Mountain Valley and Fishers Peak State Park in Trinidad.
On flights from Leadville to Cañon City, biologists will capture mule deer does and fawns to place radio-transmitting collars on them as part of a 26-year survival monitoring study.
Flights in the South Park area will include capturing elk as part of a study of elk survival and movement.
For the herd survey work, Southeast Region residents can expect to see helicopters that spend a short amount of time in a specific area and then move on as they search for herds. They will only hover long enough for wildlife biologists to count, determine s*x of the animals and assess overall health.
The flights provide important information to inform CPW wildlife biologists about individual herds.
“The helicopters will spend a brief amount of time in a specific area to count and categorize individual herds and then move on,” said Julie Stiver, senior wildlife biologist for CPW’s Southeast Region, based in Colorado Springs.
“Each year, CPW biologists inventory tens of thousands of animals statewide to develop a picture of the productivity and composition of big game in Colorado. The data is critical to our work of forming population models, management strategies and to set future hunting license numbers.”

Winter weather conditions typically concentrate deer and elk and provide increased visibility for staff who are conducting the aerial surveys
