The results of their findings will help form a long term Wildlife Management Plan, a plan which will allow the Natural Resources Department to help protect the habitats of the deer and elk, and, in time, may increase the population of those animals. The study is a Radio-Telemetry Project which was introduced dur ing the winter of 1984. 1 he project has been successful thus far and through the efforts of the tribe and BIA, and has encourntered only minor problems. The study has already shown some patterns of what type of habitats the deer and elk have a preference for. According to Marissa Stradley, who is working with the project, "The Wildlife Management Plan is something that we don't have now and I think that it will be helpful." Dennis Starr has been working diligently with the project and because of the animals past move ment, can predict where the anim als will be moving. According to Starr, poachers, rural developments and timber harvesting are a continuous threat to the populations of the animals. Dennis Starr a tribal member and Natural Resources personnel expresses his concern. "A long time ago during our nomadic times, conservation was natural because we never over used a particular area. We took what ever we- needed and moved on. Everything had a chance to replen ish itself. Animals bred, berries went through a cycle etc. etc. Bar ing natural disaster fire, bad win- t ) " -j?" .... , ; LCy ID .

"Today, on a small reservation we find if necessary to protect our natural resource. Being a progressive tribe we asked B.I. A. for monies to employ a biologist who would help enhance and preserve our fish and wildlife. A difficult task to say the least. Our tribes now have two biologists Terry Luther and Mark Fritsch. They have encouraged young tribal members to enter this field. "Through cooperative efforts between tribes, B.I. A. and state radio telemetry has become a real ity on our reservation. Although very expensive, radio collaring of deer and elk and placing transmitters in fish can produce important data which will help our leaders make responsible decisions concerning natural resources. The concept and idea for the project developed here in Warm Springs when it was discovered that other wildlife biologists were using radio collars and radio receiv ing equipment with success. The collars are placed around the neck of the animal which will then emit radio signals, enabling natural resources personnel to track the animals. Bait and traps are set up for the animals and tranquilizers are not necessary. Natural Resour ces try to pick an area in which they feel the animals are comfortable and where it is remote enough not to be accessed by anyone tempted to poach the animals. According to Eugene Greene, director in Natural Resourcei, there are other methods of tracking v ; ' " " IT4 . - -"7177!''

Also, because each animal' collar operate on different frequencies, they can tell which particular animal it is and follow its migrating patterns tnd determine their home range, whrther it is five or 20 square miles. Greene also said that the study would be more successful if law enforcmenet agencies would con tribute by putting strict enforce ment on poachers.

It also makes it difficult to com plete the study successfully if they are are not notified of a dead collared animal. The study will be completed once the radio transmitters run out of batteries, in two to three years time. reservation. i
