A comprehensive study was done at the Kalabagh Game Reserve between November 2024 and April 2025 to record the density and estimated population of Punjab urials (Ovis vignei punjabiensis) using sample count technique, line transect method and secondary information. Eleven potential sites were selected, including Bandowali, Dargah, Herowali, Dheranwali, Saran, Rodhan, Drai, Sokan, Rodywali, and Harnikalan. Using the transect, 60% of the total area was sampled and 532 Punjab Urial were estimated with a population density of 8.9 animals/km2. Thirteen different types of grasses, four different types of herbs, and fifteen different kinds of trees and shrubs were among the approximately thirty-two plant species found when the vegetation in the research area was evaluated. To compare the estimated and observed populations, Pearson's correlation (r) was applied. Indicating statistical significance is a value of 0.9. Numerous urials had good ram survival in later age classes and strong lamb and ram survival rates in prior years
