The two field methods, ground counts and aerial photography, currently used for calculating population estimates and calf recruitment for Norwegian wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) produce different results. Using population count data by both methods from the same years in various areas, I systematically compare estimates of sex and age components and decipher reasons for the discrepancies found in previous estimates made by each method. Data for aerial photography counts were found in the literature, while original data is presented for ground counts. Calf recruitment (calves/100 females) and the proportion of adult males (males 1+ years/100 animals 1+ years) in herds of reindeer in Norefjell-Reinsjøfjell (1993-98), Rondane North (1995-9...
