Abstract

In a recent paper, Huso (2011) estimated the number of deaths in a wildlife population by the count of animal carcasses left on the ground. We present some simple models, both deterministic and stochastic, for such a population. The results obtained will allow a ranger to estimate the total number of deaths suffered by the herd.
