Abstract: Abstract We develop a hierarchical Leslie matrix modeling framework to model age-specific harvest data for estimating age proportions of animal populations. As our methodology avoids expensive radiotelemetry studies, we argue through simulation and case studies that it provides a flexible modeling alternative to analysing age-specific harvest data for effective wildlife management.
