MONTANA WOLF PROGRAM - WEEKLY REPORT
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Ken McDonald, Wildlife Bureau Chief
SUBJECT: Wolf Program Activities and Related Information
WEEK OF: June 4-10, 2011
Contributors to the Montana Wolf Weekly are Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), Universities, USDA Wildlife Services (WS), the National Park Service (NPS; Glacier NP; Yellowstone National Park will be reported in the Wyoming Wolf Weekly), US Forest Service, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, and the Blackfeet Nation.
Highlighted activities relate to: monitoring, wolf-livestock interactions, outreach and education, research, law enforcement, and other miscellaneous topics of public interest. The Weekly Report will be available each Monday, covering the previous week. It and other wolf program information (including the 2009 annual report) can be found on the FWP website.
WOLF MONITORING ACTIVITIES:
What appears to be a collared black wolf was sighted passing through an area northwest of Broadus, MT on May 13th. The animal was photographed and photos were shown to FWP personnel. There have been no known sightings since mid-May, but FWP personnel continue to monitor the area for wolf sign, and search for radio frequencies of missing collared black wolves. Public reporting to FWP is helpful in monitoring wolf activity throughout Montana.
6/6: Rachael Panning began work as a volunteer for the wolf program in region 1.
Region 1 wolf team has been conducting den surveys through the region over the last several weeks. Bearfite, Dutch, Kintla, Kootenai South, Kootenai North, Murphy Lake, Preacher, Lazy Creek, Satire, Tallulah are either known to be or appear to be active. Active den sites for Candy Mountain, O?Brien, Twilight, Cabinet, Ksanka, Ashley, Wolf Prairie, Pulpit have not yet been detected.
Knew it was only a matter of time till they got that far east. But I doubt the ranchers will let this sh*t fly.
