Traffic.......................... 14 an even match for a large cougar, and that the wolves that were killed may have been alone. Research does show that, once a pack establishes in a cougar’s territory, that the cougars tend to move to differ- ent terrain to avoid the wolves. A single cougar is no match for a pack of wolves. The odd part is that this wolf mortality has been documented only in Mon- tana and only in the Bitterroot Range. I hope you all have some luck in the drawings for tags!

From page 4 workers expect higher wages or won’t stay long if they’re overqualified. In response, Ja- cobsen tells companies that older workers have different goals on the job than younger people – and that there’s a pay- off for giving them a chance, “Older workers are more de- pendable; they have a strong work ethic. The generation that is retiring, the baby boomers, they come from hardy stock, and their whole thought process is different.” Jacobsen adds that finding a job is tough at any age, and ad- vises those in their 50s and be- yond to network and brush up on their skills just as much as anyone else, “A lot of times, people retire and think, ‘Oh, I can just get a job’ – just go out and work at a retail store or maybe drive a school bus or something like that.’ They’re kind of shocked when they get out there in the job market and see there are 30 people for every job that’s available.” According to the GAO re- port, 70 percent of older work- ers who find new jobs end up earning less than at their previ- ous jobs. It says this trend means more people file earlier for Social Security, and just over half dip into their retire- ment savings earlier than they had intended. See the full report at www. gao.gov.
