Study to trace migration patterns W here do elk calve? W hat is their m igration route? Where do theyfeed? Questions regard ing h ab itat and m igration p att erns on the Warm Springs reserva tion will be answered through a Study conducted by the W arm Springs Natural Resources Depart m ent using tagged elk and deer. The radio-telem etry study, started in December, 1984, will event ually involve five cow elk and five female deer. Currently, three of the elk have been tagged, the rem aining two to be tagged in M arch. The deer will be tagged in the spring. The anim als are fitted with a collar which transm its radio signals at various frequencies. Location of the anim al through out the. year can be charted. W ith this inform ation, tribal wildlife biologist Terry Luther explains, better wildlife m an agem ent decisions can be made. W ith accurate data on migra tion routes, home ranges, calv ing and fawning areas, forage sites and animal preference areas we will ’‘have inform ation to make decisions,” states Luther. “It will give us credibility as far as w hat we recommend regard ing land m anagem ent practices. Whether or not the Tribe chooses to utilize our recommendation^ is their decision but we can give accurate inform ation.” able for study and offers com parisons. To tag.elk and deer a helicop ter is employed to locate the anim als. The anim al is shot with a Palmer Capture gun which paralyzes «the anim al’s central nervous system in seven to ten minutes. The anim al retains all senses but is unable to move? Immediately, after the anim al is' downed, workers collar the ani mal as quickly as possible and leave the area to prevent further stress to the anim al. The animal: recovers approxim ately 15 to 30 m inutes after the drug takes effect. Female elk are used be cause productivity of the herd centers aro u n d them . M ales are generally nearby but not with the cows. Bulls also go through a rutting season during which their necks swell and could cause problems. Because collars can be rebuilt hnd all'inform ation is valuable Luther encourages anyone spbt- ting a, collared anim al to inform the N atural Resources D epart- rtient about their observation. Also, should a collared anim al be harvested, the return of the collar and location information is im portant to the study. ' 4 '» / - ■ 4 ‘ EPc are spo^ ep f roiti helicopter and shot with tranquilizing drug. The radio-telem etryprogram for studying deer and elk 'is expensive, says Luther, b u t know ledge ‘a bout these animals will improve decision-making. When m igration routes and habitat local ions are known, the agen cies involved in resources on the reservation cap better work to^ gether. Recommendations, for exam ple, can be made h rp lan n in g land sales, avoiding logging in areas which may adversely affect wildlife populations. In one area logging may be postponed to prevent disturbing elk during calving season or part of a sale may be rejected if coVer for deer would be destroyed on a m ajor m igration route/: Wildlife con servation dem ands work frorn all resource agencies. * R ad io s as an in fo rm atio n source have been used effec tively in other wildlife studies, according to Luther- On the reservation, much inform ation was gained by tagging both M en riam turkeys and spring Chi nook salmon. Agencies throughout thé state also use tagging program s .to acquire inform ation on migra tion patterns in their specific Dennis Starr (right) and wildlife biologist Terry Luther (left) pu t radio collar on tranquilized cow areas.
