Abstract
Ungulate depletion is a major factor driving the current decline of wild Amur tiger Panthera tigris altaica． To conserve this globally threatened species，we should monitor their prey densities timely． It is often desirable to estimate absolute densities of prey population across large areas for effective tiger conservation and management． However， determining absolute density is complex and often controversial． Ungulate are notoriously hard to completely or partially survey using direct counts in Northeast China for rare sightings，poor visibility in dense forests，manpower and budget limit and surveyor must rely on indirect snow signs．
