Overwinter utilization of bitterbrush by big game can be estimated from measurement of the basal diameter and remaining length of a random sample of 100 twigs collected at the end of the browsing season. In this method, regression equations are used to predict unbrowsed twig length or weight. The range manager is thus able to obtain estimates of big game use at less expense, or to survey more area for the same cost than with more time-consuming methods.
