  • 2015 Idaho Wolf Monitoring Progress Report
    2015 IDAHO WOLF MONITORING PROGRESS REPORT Photo by IDFG Prepared By: Jason Husseman, Idaho Department of Fish and Game Jennifer Struthers, Idaho Department of Fish and Game Edited By: Jim Hayden, Idaho Department of Fish and Game March 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the end of 2015, Idaho’s wolf population remained well-distributed and well above population minimums required under Idaho’s 2002 Wolf Conservation and Management Plan. Wolves range in Idaho from the Canadian border south to the Snake River Plain, and from the Washington and Oregon borders east to the Montana and Wyoming borders. Dispersing wolves are reported in previously unoccupied areas. The year-end population for documented packs, other documented groups not qualifying as packs and lone wolves was estimated at 786 wolves. Biologists documented 108 packs within the state at the end of 2015. In addition, there were 20 documented border packs counted by Montana, Wyoming, and Washington that had established territories overlapping the Idaho state boundary. Additional packs are suspected but not included due to lack of documentation. Mean pack size was 6.4 wolves, nearly identical to the 2014 average of 6.5. Reproduction (production of at least 1 pup) was documented in 69 packs, representing the minimum number of reproductive packs extant in the state. Determination of breeding pair status was made for 53 packs at year’s end. Of these, 33 packs (62%) met breeding pair criteria, and 20 packs did not. No determination of breeding pair status was made for the remaining 55 packs. Mortalities of 358 wolves were documented in Idaho in 2015, and remained essentially unchanged from 2014 (n = 360).

They have been doing so since time immemorial, an important indigenous concept which describes a time continuum that spans from ancient times to present day. In post- contact years, interactions expanded to include explorers, traders and missionaries, who brought with them new opportunities for trade and intermarriage as well as the devastating circumstances brought by disease, warfare, and the reservation era. Through cultural adaptation and uninterrupted treaty rights, the CTUIR never ceased to continue to travel to the lower Columbia and Willamette River and falls for seasonal traditional practice and for other purposes.

  • 3 Affected Environment 3.13 Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat
    3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.13 WILDLIFE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT 3.13 W ILDLIFE AND W ILDLIFE H ABITAT (INCLUDING T HREATENED, E NDANGERED, P ROPOSED, AND S ENSITIVE S PECIES) 3.13.1 Introduction and Scope of Analysis 3.13.1.1 Introduction This section describes the wildlife and wildlife habitats in the analysis area of the proposed Stibnite Gold Project (SGP) under existing (baseline) conditions. While all wildlife species are of management interest, three Threatened, Endangered, Proposed, or Candidate (TEPC) species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) are either known to occur, or have the potential to occur, in the analysis areas: Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) (threatened), Northern Idaho ground squirrel (NIDGS) (Urocitellus brunneus) (threatened), and wolverine (Gulo gulo)(proposed threatened). Aside from species with federal status, focal species, as defined in the Boise National Forest (BNF) Wildlife Conservation Strategy were selected from habitat families to represent environmental and ecological functions that may be affected by SGP activities. Included in this analysis are U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service) Region 4 Sensitive species which are designated by the Forest Service Regional Forester for specific regions or forests, BNF and Payette National Forest (PNF) Management Indicator Species (MIS), and Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) as identified in the BNF Wildlife Conservation Strategy (Forest Service 2010a). The Idaho Partners in Flight (PIF) Idaho Bird Conservation Plan (Ritter 2000) was used to identify additional migratory bird species and habitats in the wildlife analysis area. Finally, existing conditions for several other non-special status wildlife species and big game species are included in this analysis, as they are known to occur, or have the potential to occur, in the analysis areas.

  • Northern Shoshoni Intertribal Trade and Fur Trade
    IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES NORTHERN SHOSHONI INTERTRIBAL TRADE AND FUR TRADE Number 490 1978 In the broad valley of the Snake, two centers of Northern Shoshoni occupation held special importance over a long period of time. Late in the years of the fur trade, each of these had a post of importance: Fort Hall and Fort Boise. Around later Fort Hall, in the vicinity where Blackfoot, Ross Fork, the Portneuf, and Bannock Creek meet the Snake River, horse-owning Indians had an exceptionally good base of operations if they didn't mind the hordes of mosquitoes too much. Here the Fort Hall Shoshoni and Bannock bands maintained their horse herds in luxury. Farther west, in a zone where the Boise, Owyhee, Malheur, Payette, and Weiser rivers all flow into the Snake, the Northern Shoshoni had an important trading center during salmon season long before the Hudson's Bay Company built Fort Boise. Here the Northern Shoshoni met other Indian peoples from a broad western area for a great intertribal fair during salmon fishing season. Nez Perce and Walla Walla horses, Northern Paiute obsidian arrowheads, Pacific Coast ornamental seashells (brought in by Umatilla and Cayuse intermediaries), and Shoshoni buffalo hides and meat from the eastern plains were bartered there year after year. In addition, Cheyenne and Arapaho bands dragged superior cedar tipi poles from Colorado by the hundreds, and Crows came from Wyoming in search of wives. So did many others: the entire festival formed a grand marriage market as well as a horse market and general trade fair.

One-hundred miles of pure, clear, free-flowing river drop 3000 feet through the remote and spectacular River of No Return Wilderness, the largest roadless Wilderness in the lower 48 states. Natural and untamed, the Middle Fork of the Salmon River has shaped its course through a land so rugged that any attempts at settlement have failed. Little remains of man’s brief presence other than prehistoric cave paintings and dilapidated log cabins dotting this land in Idaho. A Middle Fork Salmon River rafting trip draws visitors from around the globe to experience over 100 Idaho whitewater rafting rapids, fish clear alpine waters, relax in natural hot springs, hike to magnificent waterfalls, and camp in mountain meadows. Day-by-Day Itinerary DAY ONE » In the early season (June - July 22), a two-hour bus ride from Stanley, ID to Boundary Creek begins your trip into the Idaho wilderness.
