CKMR estimates demographic parameters by identifying genetic relationships between individuals, effectively \u201crecapturing\u201d parental genotypes through their offspring's genetic profiles. One key advantage of CKMR over traditional methods is the ability to estimate abundance without recapture, facilitating the use of lethally collected biological samples. Here, we present an application of CKMR to a terrestrial species using samples collected from harvested individuals. We analyzed genetic data from 1767 American black bears (\n                    <jats:italic>Ursus americanus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) harvested over two consecutive years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Using Genotyping\u2010in\u2010Thousands by sequencing (GT\u2010seq), we identified parent\u2010offspring pairs and developed sex\u2010specific models tailored to black bear reproductive biology and management strategies. Female population estimates aligned with our expectations, based on prior knowledge of the population. In contrast, male population estimates deviated from expectations, potentially due to an unmodeled combination of factors pertaining to male reproductive biology and sampling bias. Our study not only demonstrates the viability of using harvest\u2010based CKMR for monitoring of terrestrial wildlife populations, but also highlights the need for careful model specification. By providing a novel method to estimate demographic parameters and population size, CKMR using harvest samples can inform management decisions and harvest quotas. This approach leverages existing management practices involving collection of genetic samples, such as mandatory harvest registrations and health monitoring programs. Our findings contribute to the growing body of CKMR applications and expand its use to terrestrial species management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/eap.70322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]],"date-time":"2026-10-06T05:23:52Z","timestamp":1791264232000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Application of close\u2010kin mark\u2013recapture to an American black bear population using harvest samples"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4363-4137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony","family":"S\u00e9v\u00eaque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Forest and Wildlife Research Center Mississippi State University  Mississippi State Mississippi USA"},{"name":"Centre d'Etudes Biologiques de Chiz\u00e9, UMR\u20107372 CNRS\u2010La Rochelle Universit\u00e9  Villiers\u2010en\u2010Bois France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1040-7299","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert C.","family":"Lonsinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Geological Survey, Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Oklahoma State University  Stillwater Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisette P.","family":"Waits","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources University of Idaho  Moscow Idaho USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristin E.","family":"Brzeski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Forest Resources and Environment Science Michigan Technological University  Houghton Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah L.","family":"Mayhew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wildlife Division, Michigan Department of Natural Resources  Lansing Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.
