Cabinet-Yaak grizzly bear recovery area 2007 research and monitoring progress report. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Missoula, Montana. 75 pp. Abstract: Numbers of females with cubs in the Cabinet-Yaak recovery zone varied from 1-4 per year and averaged 2.2 per year from 2002-07. One adult female is known to have died during 2007 in a self defense incident. Human caused mortality averaged 1.5 total bears per year and 1.2 females per year during 2002-07. Nine known human caused mortalities of grizzly bears have occurred in the recovery zone or within 10 miles since 2002. These include 7 females and 2 males. Human caused mortalities during 2002-07 were an adult female with 3 cubs (illegal), another adult female (self defense), 3 subadult females (2 illegal under investigation and a train collision) and 1 subadult male (black bear mistaken identity). Thirteen of 22 bear management units had sightings of females with young during 2002-07. Grizzly bear research in the Cabinet Mountains indicated that only a small population remained as of 1988.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Missoula, Montana. 105 pp. ABSTRACT Twelve grizzly bears were monitored with radio-collars during portions of 2019. Research monitoring included four females (two adults and two subadults) and eight males (three adult and five subadults) in the Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem (CYE). Two subadult males and a subadult female were from the Cabinet Mountains augmentation program. One adult male bear was collared for conflict management purposes. Grizzly bear monitoring and research has been ongoing in the Cabinet Mountains since 1983 and in the Yaak River since 1986. Eighty-one resident bears were captured and monitored through telemetry in the two areas from 1983–2019. Research in the Cabinet Mountains indicated that only a small population remained as of 1988. Concern over persistence of grizzly bear populations within this area resulted in a pilot program in 1990 that tested population augmentation techniques.

  • Memoirs of Dr.Edson Harvey Fichter, Jr
    Memoirs of Dr.Edson Harvey Fichter, Jr. compiled by his daughter, Nancy Dillon BOYHOOD AND TEEN YEARS Edson was born on Sunday, July 3rd, 1910, in an old farmhouse near the small town of Randolph, Iowa. The country doctor that assisted with his birth eventually became his brother-in-law, marrying his elder sister, Mabel. As a boy he was called “Eddie” or just “Boy Fichter”. He was the youngest of four children. His siblings were Mabel, Edna, and Corby. Edson wrote the following many years later: “When I was a little boy, our family of six went to Omaha, Nebraska, which was about 50 miles from our farm, to buy clothing. I can remember, more or less clearly, that much of the time we were there I was crying because I was frightened by the big city.” When Edson was five he became a first grader along with another boy, Irving Travelute, and two girls, Louise Allely and Hilda Hintz, at Harvard, a one-room country schoolhouse one mile from his farm. He and his brother Corby, age 12, walked to school or rode together on a black pony named Billy. At the end of the first semester the teacher was committed to a mental institution; then it became clear to his family that his school morning stomach ache had not always been malingering. His sister, Mabel, 21 years older than he and unmarried, was the teacher the second semester. The following nonsense verse is the only thing that he can specifically remember as having learned at Harvard: Where is a boy going And what is he going to do, And how is he going to do it When the world bursts through? The above named horse, Billy, occasionally showed some surprising behavior.

Cabinet-Yaak grizzly bear recovery area 2013 research and monitoring progress report. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Missoula, Montana. 110 pp. Abstract: Grizzly bear research in the Cabinet Mountains indicated that only a small population remained as of 1988. Concern over persistence of grizzly bear populations within this area resulted in a pilot program in 1990 that tested population augmentation techniques. Four subadult female bears with no history of conflicts with humans were captured in southeast British Columbia and moved to the Cabinet Mountains for release during 1990–94. Three of four transplanted bears remained within the target area for at least one year. Hair snag sampling and DNA analysis during 2002–12 identified one of the original transplanted bears. The animal was a 2 year-old female when released in 1993. Genetic analysis also identified at least 9 first generation offspring and 8 second generation offspring from this individual. The success of the augmentation test program prompted additional augmentation in cooperation with Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks.

The act provides that the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines survey these wilderness areas to determine the mineral values, if any, that may be present. The act also directs that results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and submitted to the Presi­ dent and Congress. This report discusses the results of a min­ eral survey of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, Lincoln and Sanders Counties, Montana.
