Elk Studies:

• Idaho - Elk Recruitement Study: Fish and Game is trying to understand why elk recruitment (annual addition of new calves to a herd) is low in some Game Management Units (GMUs) and pretty good in others. This study is still ongoing. IDFG has not updated the information since 2000 but a contact person is listed for the current status of the study.
• Michael Lucid worked with IDFG big game biologists in capturing and collaring elk and deer in the statewide ungulate ecology study.  The research is looking at the performance of big game populations across the state and the influence that wolves and other carnivores are having on them.  If uncollared wolf packs are seen in the study areas, they will be darted and collared.  (Feb05)
