    <descript>
      <abstract>Data was acquired during aerial surveys conducted by Montana Fish, Wildlife &amp; Parks (FWP) between 1993 and 2007. The aerial surveys were conducted annually to count and classify mountain in the area. Data are used by Montana Fish, Wildlife &amp; Parks (FWP) in their management responsibilities to set hunting seasons, determine population trends, and identify critical habitats. Observations were recorded on data forms and locations either plotted on USFS Maps (Deerlodge National Forest) or recorded by specific location.

The data represents observations of mountain goats. It is not intended to represent overall or annual distribution. Each individual observation represents one or more animals. Density of observations does not necessarily equal density of animals.</abstract>
      <purpose>To provide wildlife data for use in the Natural Resource Damage Program (NRDP). The data is intended to aid in NRDP project planning and implementation by identifying key wildlife habitats.</purpose>

        <procdesc>FWP field data observation forms from 1993 through 2007 were used to identify GIS locations on BLM 1:100,000 maps.  Data was digitized on screen using ArcView 3.2 using the following 1:100,000 scale Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs) as base maps (Missoula East, Elliston, Philipsburg, Butte North, and Butte South). The DRGs were obtained from the Natural Resource Information System at http://nris.mt.gov/gis/.</procdesc>
