According to officials, the department will conduct aerial killings of the animals between Kingman and Seligman through May in an effort to improve fawn survival and prevent predation.
Arizona pronghorn numbers have dropped since 2015, and they’ve struggled because of drought, habitat loss, road building and fencing. Game and Fish calls the project a “short-term effort” to assist herds that are in trouble.
