From managing a deer herd to moving a mountain - one pilgrim's progress

Article Abstract:

There have been significant developments in the wildlife management profession over recent decades. The ability to quickly adapt to emerging sectors in the area of natural resources management has been a key element in the success of wildlife managers. Wildlife biologists have become much more influential, but must take care to remain humble as they face the challenges of the 21st century. Substantial progress has been made, but much remains to be done.

Effects of bull age on conception dates and pregnancy rates of cow elk

Article Abstract:

Breeding of Rocky Mountain elk can be improved by utilizing bulls that are three years and older. A study of the productivity of elk populations showed that older bulls (3 years and older) can influence repopulation efforts by increasing conception chances and improving and shortening rutting period. Pregnancy rates attributed to older bulls reaches 97%, compared to an average of 89% in a mixed-age bull sirings.

A serum pregnancy test with a specific radioimmunoassay for moose and elk pregnancy-specific protein B

Article Abstract:

The development of a specific, quantitative double-antibody radioimmunoassay for cervidae pregnancy-specific protein B will make it possible to quantify circulating levels of the protein in serum during cervid gestation. It may be possible to estimate fetal age or date of conception.
