Study determines animal preferences, behavior patterns
by Lenora Starr
A growing concern among the
Indian people and the employees
of the Natural Resources depart
ment prompted them to begin a
study of elk and deer, to determine
their habitat preferences and beha
vior. 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

could expect good hunting, fishing
berry picking, root digging year
after year.
"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

proved to be more successful than
others and the animals only have to
be handled once. 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
