Population density estimation of small mammals often involves live trapping, a procedure that can be stressful on the captured animals, time consuming, and expensive. Encounter or “hit” rates between animals and remote cameras have been suggested as a method for using remote cameras to estimate the population density of species when individuals cannot be identified; this method has not yet been tested on rodents. Live trapping and filming of four species of small mammal was conducted in the boreal forest of Yukon Territory during the summers of 2010, 2011 and 2012 to determine if hit rates can be used to estimate the population density of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), northern red-backed voles (Clethrionomys rutilus), snowshoe hares (...
