    Wind River Expedition Through the Wilderness… a Journey to Holiness July 17-23, 2016 Greetings Mountain Men, John Muir once penned the motivational quote… “The mountains are calling and I must go.” And while I wholeheartedly agree with Muir, I more deeply sense that we are responding to the “Still Small Voice”, the heart of God calling us upward to high places. And when God calls we must answer, for to do so is to embark on an adventure like no other! Through the mountain wilderness Moses, Elijah, and Jesus were all faced with the holiness and power of God. That is our goal and our deepest desire. Pray for nothing short of this my friends and be ready for what God has in store… it’s sure to be awesome! Please read the entire information packet and then follow the simple steps below and get ready! Preparing for the Expedition: Step 1 Now Pay deposit of $100 and submit documents by April 30, 2017 Step 2 Now Begin fitness training! Step 3 Now Begin acquiring gear! (see following list) Step 4 May 31 Pay the balance of expedition $400 Step 5 June 1 Purchase airline ticket (see directions below) Step 6 July 17 Fly to Salt Lake City!

Red outlines indicate the Wyoming Game & Fish Department Hunt Areas. Blue dots are samples from males (n = 263, mainly tissue samples from legally hunted animals), pink dots are females (n = 559, mix of whole blood and FTA card samples), gray dots are unknown sex (n = 138). Several locations such as Cody and Dubois are represented as a single point but multiple animals were sampled in those locations. Dots are representative of samples, not of unique individuals, which may be lower if animals were recaptured. Females are well sampled in the Jackson, Whiskey Mountain, and Absaroka herds but not in other herds which are only sampled by legally hunted rams and pickup heads. Outside of the northwest corner of the state, sampling is mainly limited to hunted rams. Dots outside hunt area boundaries are represent wandering rams, fecal collections, or planned captures. The number of samples from 2014-2016 available and analyzed from each hunt area are listed in Table 4. Page 1 of 5 Bighorn Sheep Research Activity 2016-17: Love Stowell & Ernest_1May2017 Received in 2016-17 593 new samples acquired in 2016-17 Variety of sample types, sample locations (see tables)

  • Mountain Ungulates
    Chapter 5 Genetic Attributes and Research Interests Elizabeth P. Flesch, Tabitha A. Graves, Robert A. Garrott, Sarah R. Dewey, and Carson J. Butler THE GENOMICS REVOLUTION AND YELLOWSTONE Genetic research and engineering have infiltrated our daily lives in countless ways. New advances due to genomics are in the news almost every day. Genomics involves identifying the structure and function of genomes, which consist of the genetic infor- mation in individuals. Prior to the 1980s, scientists had a limited ability to study genetic material called DNA, which is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. Unlike today, they could not identify criminals using forensics, diagnose certain medical conditions and inherited diseases, or genetically modify plant crops for resistance to diseases and drought. In 1985, scientists invented an approach to make many copies of a small amount of genetic material. Scientists called this replication a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A microorganism, Thermus aquaticus, discovered in a Yellowstone hot spring, provided the critical ingredient, Taq polymerase, to make this reaction possible. Taq polymerase assists in the steps necessary to replicate DNA and can withstand the heat necessary for the procedure. Today, laboratories produce many versions of this enzyme for a wide range of studies and applications. The technology that emerged from studying a Yellowstone hot spring now helps us understand, manage, and conserve the web of life in the Yellowstone area and throughout the world. 88 Greater Yellowstone’s Mountain Ungulates WHAT IS DNA AND HOW DO WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS USE IT? Just as in people, DNA provides the instruction book for life within bighorn sheep and mountain goats.

  • Wyoming Herds (Bridger-Teton and Caribou-Targhee Forests)
    Intermountain Region BHS/Domestic Sheep-Risk Assessment for Region 4 National Forests Wyoming Herds (Bridger-Teton and Caribou-Targhee Forests) Results of Analysis December 7, 2015 Revised as of 12/9/2015 pjwb Background Because population viability analyses for Intermountain Region forests under the 2012 planning rule may not be completed for several years, an Intermountain Region Bighorn Sheep/Domestic Sheep Framework was developed to assist the Region’s forests in assessing risks to bighorn sheep populations (Ovis canadensis, BHS). The framework employs a Risk of Contact (ROC) model that estimates the potential of BHS to foray from a Core Herd Home Range (CHHR) onto nearby domestic sheep allotments. The ROC model was initially developed for use in the Payette National Forest’s Forest Plan Amendment Identifying Suitable Rangeland for Domestic Sheep and Goat Grazing to Maintain Habitat for Viable Bighorn Sheep Populations (2010). When used in the context of other factors such as population resilience and distribution, the model can assist in evaluations of risks to BHS populations for a planning unit. This document provides a brief description of BHS risk considerations including ROC model output and descriptions of Core Herd Home Ranges (CHHR) (Figure 1) on the Bridger-Teton (BTNF) and Caribou- Targhee (CTNF) National Forests in Wyoming. Data Sources and Analyses Available telemetry and observation data were used to create Core Herd Home Ranges (CHHRs) for BHS on Intermountain Region Forest lands. Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) biologists were involved in the identification and review of BHS CHHRs and the review of source habitat data as part of an expert review process.

  • APPENDIX C WILDERNESS EVALUATION Introduction Inventory Of
    Draft Environmental Impact Statement APPENDIX C WILDERNESS EVALUATION Introduction This appendix describes the process used to inventory and evaluate areas on the Wasatch – Cache National Forest for their potential as wilderness. Each of the 31 roadless areas is then summarized in an individual report describing an area’s wilderness characteristics, current resource uses, and the need for the area to be included in the wilderness preservation system. Inventory of Potential Wilderness Updating the 1983 Inventory Past roadless inventories, such as the 1983 Forest Plan roadless inventory were used as a starting point to identify roadless resources on the Wasatch – Cache National Forest. These areas were updated and new areas identified based upon criteria in: · FSH 1909.12 Inventory and Evaluation of Roadless Areas · Intermountain draft Roadless Inventory and Evaluation Guide (USFS, 1998) · 1984 Utah Wilderness Act A significant change since 1983 roadless inventory was completed was portions of Mount Naomi, Wellsville Mountains, Mount Olympus, Twin Peaks, Lone Peak and Deseret Peak (Stansbury Mountains) roadless areas became wilderness in 1984 by the Utah Wilderness Act. Lone Peak had become a wilderness area earlier with the 1978 Endangered Wilderness Act and no further acreage was added in 1984. Additional Areas Identified as Roadless Because different criteria were used for the 1999 inventory than those used in 1983, eight additional areas were identified as roadless since the 1983 Roadless Inventory: · Temple Peak (Logan Ranger District) · Boulder Mountain (Logan Ranger District) · Mahogany Range (Logan Ranger District) · Right Hand Fork (Logan Ranger District) · Sugar Pine (Ogden Ranger District) · Rock Creek – Green Fork (Ogden Ranger District) · Hogsback (Salt Lake Ranger District) Wasatch-Cache National Forest C - 1 Draft Environmental Impact Statement · Lone Peak Additions (Salt Lake Ranger District) Further, the Mount Logan 1983 roadless area was split into three separate roadless areas, because of constructed roads that were identified.
