Study to trace migration patterns
W here do elk calve? W hat is

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

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.

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

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
