    c 1 l <­ V- 447 IN STORAGE PROGRESS REPORI' OF COYOTE S'IUIJY !IifJYELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK by Adolph Murie ;r.3!3 I In a letter dated March 25, 1937, the Regional Officer, Region 2, was requested by the Director to assign me to make a thorough study of the coyote and its relationships to other wildlife species in Yellowstone National Park. In compliance with this request I reached Yellowstone May 1 to begin field studies of the coyote and other species on which it preys. Although it has not been possible to devote all of my time to this study I feel that it has not suffered greatly as a result of other special assignments given me and that fairly good continuity in observations has been ma intained. Special assign­ ments kept me away from Yellatqstone for various periods as follows:- Wind River Mountain investigation, July 26 - August l; i9'lathead .lforest investigation, August 8 - 22; Shoshone ..l!'orest trip, September 6 - 14. Most of October was spent in the Omaha. office and December was devoted to the analyslbs of scats in Jackson, Wyoming. This brief report on the coyote study is being ma.de at the request of Mr. Cahalane, Acting Chief of the • ildlife Division, in a letter dated December 20, to Mr. Allen, Region­ al Director, Region 2. A copy of this letter was sent to me at Yellowstone and mis-forwarded to 1ioran, fanilly reaching me today, January 5. Since the report is wanted in Washington by the middle of January there is not time for making anything but a brief report on my findings so far.

Jackson Hole was recognized as an outdoor paradise by the native Americans that first explored the area thousands of years before the first white mountain men stumbled upon the valley. These lucky first inhabitants were here to hunt, fish, trap and explore the rugged terrain and enjoy the abundance of natural resources. As the early white explorers trapped, hunted and mapped the region, it didn’t take long before word got out and tourism in Jackson Hole was born. Urbanites from the eastern cities made their way to this remote corner of northwest Wyoming to enjoy the impressive vistas and bounty of fish and game in the name of sport. These travelers needed guides to the area and the first trappers stepped in to fill the niche. Over time dude ranches were built to house and feed the guests in addition to roads, trails and passes through the mountains. With time newer outdoor pursuits were being realized including rafting, climbing and skiing. Today Jackson Hole is home to two of the world’s most famous national parks, world class skiing, hiking, fishing, climbing, horseback riding, snowmobiling and wildlife viewing all in a place that has been carefully protected allowing guests today to enjoy the abundance experienced by the earliest explorers.

The purpose of the grant was to develop detailed protocols necessary to monitor the ecological health of Soda Butte Creek and Reese Creek in and near Yellowstone National Park. The main objectives was to compile existing information on these creeks into one database, document the current conditions of Soda Butte and Reese Creeks by a one-time synoptic sampling event, and present recommendations for vital signs monitoring programs tailored to each creek’s needs. The database is composed of information from government projects by the United States Geological Survey and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, graduate student master’s theses, academic research, and private contractor reports. The information dates back to 1972 and includes surface water quality, groundwater quality, sediment contamination, vegetation diversity, and macroinvertebrate populations.
