After reviewing my statement, let me be more specific. Are there any studies on calf recruitment related to wolves? If so, how do they compare to the 300+ additional calves taken by grizzly bears?
That is what I was gleaning from the article, until I read “elk calf recruitment may not be as sensitive to wolf removal on some outlying winter ranges as to the number of grizzly bears and the availability of alternative grizzly bear foods on elk summer ranges in and around YNP.”
This appears...
I will admit, this last part really peaked my interest. This really feels like a slight of hand trick. Of course, this is just a gut feeling, so I ask for further understanding and since wolves were brought up already I don't mind asking.
The article/study indicates that maintaining...
Nothing really specific, but according to the same site the biggest problem seems to be in a handful of southern states:

I've been thinking of picking up a pair of these actually. Do they size well? I will be purchasing off he internet and wondering if I need to order a size up or down.
smarandr you must live in Malad? I actually drove by there on my way over the divide the day the murder happened. I don't ever recall seeing the red semi truck though. One of my family members was first in attempting to get them all adopted :mad: I cringe at thinking that all of them will...
Glad nobody was seriously hurt and good for you for helping out! A neighborhood rottweiler used to escape a house and threaten a friend and I walking back from school when I was young (12?). We used to have to walk around a long ways to avoid it. I planned to feed it a hot dog full of rat...
Have you called Ball Storage? I know they process meat and might be able to give you some leads. There is also a fairly large bison ranch just off of I-15 towards Sage Junction, perhaps they may help you too? Other than that I'm assuming your best bet is indeed Fort Hall.
Is there a map out there that shows wolf locations, not just packs?
The map that IDFG put out with their report doesn't show wolves in some areas that I know contain wolves because assumably they aren't an established pack. I understand the logic in doing this, but I would love to see total...
Unfortunately, due to family matters the scouting trip in the Curlew valley was short lived. In the time I did go out I saw about 50 head of deer and a pheasant that attempted to attack us. It unfortunately was dusk and I wasn't able to get off any decent pictures. I did get some information...
Quickly, there have been a couple people PM me with information and experiences. I just wanted to give them a quick thank you too! I have Google Earth marked with lots of places to go this summer.
1_pointer magnificent picture! I've seen videos of their mating calls and its just cool to watch. Hope I can be lucky enough to run into one of these as grouse have always been special to me. They provided countless hours of entertainment for my brother and me when we were younger...
This never crossed my mind, but I would love to see them strutin' around. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll pack our nice camera along in case I run across any. Hopefully I'll have some nice pictures to share after the weekend.
Captain's log... :)
Went out and didn't see a single coyote, but I still had a blast. I was out in Taylor Mountain and came across a couple moose and a handful of deer. Not too bad for a 10 minute drive from my home.
Here are some horrible cell phone pictures of one of the moose and some...
Wow! Thanks for the welcomes and input everyone!
I plan to share as much as possible with you guys, and wouldn't have you expect anything less of me. I don't mind sharing information so that we can all benefit. Perhaps I'll keep this thread alive by posting the information I find in it...
Hello everyone,
First of all, I just want to say how lucky I feel to have found this forum! I've been lurking for a short while and finally decided to join the community. This forum has everything, as a hunter, that I'm looking for. At the moment I'm purely leeching all the information...
