    MONTANA FISH, WILDLIFE & PARKS PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR THE 2021 WOLF SEASON COMMENTS PROCESSED AS OF JULY 26, 2021 1. Director Worsech, Please consider unlimited quota for hunting and trapping. I believe the trapping license should i nclude a minimum of 10 but really only 1 or 2 people would ever harvest more than that. But, w hy would we want to limit the few who can actually help control the overpopulation. A minimu m of 1 Wolf licenses should be included in the Sportsman License. Very few people would ever have the opportunity to harvest more than one but again, Why would we want to limit someone who could help. There are a lot of roads that are closed to vehicles that are not used by recreationalists that hav e restricted setbacks year around because they are open to vehicles at some point of the year. T hat makes no sense. If the road is open, then have set backs. If the road is closed, there are no setbacks until the road is opened again. If someone is too mentally challenged to understand thi s then they should not be out without supervision anyway. Wolves run the roads because it is the path of least resistance. Requiring traps to be 150 feet ba ck makes it impossible to put enough stink out for them to notice it. 2 of my friends and I trap a round St Regis and over the past 9 seasons have caught 28 wolves. One came off public land, th e rest were caught on private land where we could place traps close to the roads and trails.

    PURLOINED PATHS | LAYOFFS AND LESSONS | BOOKS FOR THE EREMOCENE High Country ForN people whoews care about the West Grizzly Face-Off The Yellowstone grizzly population is poised to lose federal protections — for better or worse By Gloria Dickie May 16, 2016 | $5 | Vol. 48 No. 8 | www.hcn.org 48 No. | $5 Vol. 2016 16, May CONTENTS Editor’s note Grizzly fascination The professor’s assignment was open-ended: Get together with another graduate student and write about a current natural resource dilemma, one with lots of competing players. Both topic and partner came readily to mind: The Yellowstone grizzly bear intrigued not only me, but also my vivacious, intelligent colleague, Ann Harvey. That was back in 1985. The other day, I found our report buried deep inside an old file cabinet. It’s not poetry, but it captures the flavor of the landscape, as well as the politics of a place that has been one of my journalistic foci for decades now. And I am still friends with Ann, who has lived in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem ever since, and who continues to be an ardent wildlife advocate. Here’s the thing about grizzly bears: They create a human ecosystem every bit as interesting as the natural one. And that system is also populated by fierce and persistent individuals. Ann is one of many who have remained in the grizzly-shaped system for Yellowstone Valley photo guide, outtter and hunter Jim Laybourn wears a bear costume to help send a message at the Yellowstone Ecosystem Subcommittee meeting in Teton Village last November.

And, if that’s not enough, you can then run them over relentlessly with the machine, injuring them until they die. You don’t need a hunting license, nor even a bullet to kill a wolf. You can do the above with impunity across roughly 85 percent of Wyoming which, as the “Cowboy State” encompasses almost 98,000 square miles, including vast sweeps of public land and excluding only federal wilderness and places where motorized restrictions apply. You don’t need a reason to justify your actions either. Even if game wardens were to bear witness, it is highly unlikely you would catch any flak—unless your conduct happened to startle a deer, elk, pronghorn or domestic cow or horse, and then you might earn a scolding for harassing wildlife or livestock. In fact, wolves, which were recently taken off the list of federally-protected species and their management handed over to the state unconditionally in 2017, can be killed by virtually any means, any time of day, any day of the year, without limit in most of Wyoming.

  • Grand Teton National Park Jackson District
    National Park Service Craighead Beringia South Wyoming Game & Fish U.S. Department of the Interior State of Wyoming Grand Teton National Park Jackson District Howard Quigley Jackie Skaggs Mark Gocke 307-732-0188 307.739.3393 307.733.2383 ext 231 Interagency News Release For Immediate Release January 30, 2008 JACKSON- An ongoing mountain lion research project suffered a setback last Friday, January 25, when a lion kitten was killed during a routine capture operation in Grand Teton National Park. A local veterinarian and biologists from Craighead Beringia South, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and Grand Teton National Park were attempting to capture the 7-month old kitten of a radio-collared adult female mountain lion, when tracking hounds caught and killed the young cougar. Lion researchers routinely use hounds to safely track and tree the cats so that they can be tranquilized, collared and released. Unfortunately, in this case the kitten involved was in such poor health that it was unable to climb a tree and escape the dogs. “We‟re obviously devastated by the loss of the kitten,” said Teton Cougar Project leader, Howard Quigley. “We have captured a number of cats this age, and even younger, and they‟ve always treed well ahead of the dogs. This kitten was so emaciated it likely couldn‟t climb a tree. There were dozens available.” A necropsy performed by the crew‟s veterinarian, reported „very little body fat‟ and „marked muscle atrophy.‟ Officials believed the young cat probably would not have survived the winter. The kitten‟s mother, known as F101, has been the most productive breeding female in the history of the project, but is now old and possibly quickly losing her ability to provide for her young.

  • Photographs of Thomas D. Mangelsen Todd Wilkinson
    July 20, 2017 Mangelsen, Born of the North Wind. Mangelsen has won awards for making fine art photographs that also illuminate contemporary conservation issues. Born of the North Wind that shows a polar bear and Arctic fox on sea ice in the Far North is a reminder of how iconic creatures, with global warming, will literally be seeing the world they know vanish beneath their feet. When Virtual Reality Is No Match For A True Life In The Wild The amazing “all natural” photographs of Thomas D. Mangelsen Todd Wilkinson In this age of superior environmental awareness, when mass media and virtual reality are ostensibly supposed to make us smarter in our knowledge of the natural world, consider this paradox: One of the most famous and widely-circulated wildlife photographs ever made is an image that most members of the Millennial generation probably assume is a product of digital manipulation. The truth behind Thomas D. Mangelsen’s iconic Catch of the Day is exactly the opposite and that’s precisely what gives it extraordinary cachet. Mangelsen’s photograph capturing the exact moment that a spawning sockeye salmon in Alaska leaps upstream into the awaiting jaws of a large hungry brown bear, is “all wild.” The engaging masterpiece is not the result of keyboard legerdemain but painstaking old-school tradition. Here a noted American photographer methodically put himself in the right place at the right time—an exponent of Mangelsen’s life-long immersion in untamed and sometimes hostile environments. Mangelsen, Catch of the Day. Mangelsen's portrayal of a spawning sockeye salmon leaping in the mouth of a wild Alaskan brown bear, is one of the most famous wildlife photographs of the modern age.

The Uhl Hill Fire began near Eynon Ridge in the Elk Ranch area of the park, approximately three miles southeast of Moran Junction. About four acres in size, the fire is currently 40% contained and burning in a mixed conifer and aspen forest. It is believed to have been started by lightning associated with storms that passed through the area on June 16 and 17, 2007. The Uhl Hill Fire is the second fire in Grand Teton National Park this year. Ten Teton interagency fire personnel responded to smoke reports at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon; two interagency fire engines—one from Colter Bay and another from the Moran Station of Jackson Hole Fire and EMS—formed the initial attack team. In addition, one interagency contract helicopter flew supplies and dropped water on the fire, and smokejumpers responded from McCall, Idaho, but were unable to parachute into the area due to high afternoon winds. Thirteen interagency fire personnel are currently working on the Uhl Hill Fire today, June 25, and total containment is expected to occur by late afternoon or early evening. Although smoke is visible to park visitors, no structures are threatened at this time, and no road or trail closures are in effect due to this fire.
