They collared some several years ago up there. something to do with understanding the local elk movements. That was before they all became citified rose munchers.
:yeah: Kinda . From what I remember it was some kinda grant $ involving multiple agencys (tribes ,FEDs ,WDFW etc.) looking at the non migratory movements . Seen them flying a couple times .

I recorded the collar and ear tag numbers, the GPS coordinates and after the Black powder season ended I called the F&G folks. I eventually spoke with a Biologist who was very nice and friendly. He told me that particular cow was involved in a Re-productivity study. She was caught each year at Oak Creek feeding station and her uterus was ultra sounded. She was 17 years old and had never calved as her uterus was mis-shapened.
Crazy!!

How long a go? Seams to me it was at least 10 years. I remember talking to some of the volunteers involved. Memory has faded.

Depending on age when collared that cow would still be old if tagged in 2008.She wasn't a big cow. Probably 3-400 on the hoof. Slightly larger than a yearling calf but much smaller than an average spike.

Weird, I talked a biologist a few months back and she said that the ONLY collared elk in the area were done by the Muckleshoot tribe.That would be a bit of a track from the muckleshoot Rez. But not unheard of for elk

During Muzzle season in the Bumping about 10 years ago I found a dead cow that had a collar and ear tags. She was HUGH!!!!
I recorded the collar and ear tag numbers, the GPS coordinates and after the Black powder season ended I called the F&G folks. I eventually spoke with a Biologist who was very nice and friendly. He told me that particular cow was involved in a Re-productivity study. She was caught each year at Oak Creek feeding station and her uterus was ultra sounded. She was 17 years old and had never calved as her uterus was mis-shapened.

Very interesting. Didn't realize an elk could live that long. Who knows, maybe it was a bull they were doing an ultrasound on but his antlers were so regressed they thought it was a cow. :chuckle:
