WHdlife Problems

Game Manager, Faamzer-Ramcber

al drift of Montana big game herds are,
of course, now impossible. Human set
tlement and agricultural development
have changed all of that. Most big
game, probably all of it with the pos
sible exception of the blacktail deer,
has had to adapt itself to new pattern
of living. Most antelope bands now
must live in locations where they have
something of problem of confinement
by fences, and of competition with do
mestic livestock for range forage. Most
Montana elk and deer herds now must
live year-round in the mountainous up
lands, and range on some lands grazed
for part of the year by livestock.
In such changed environment, there
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-06-01
'NNHERs nlp YoU LEARN cRoP eUsTINe9"

are survival problems for wiidllfe and
big game depredations and forage COM
petition problems for stockmen and
farmer. An understanding of this helps
one in knowing how to live with wild
life, and how to help them live, and
survive.
Competition Little
To what degree do the big game
herds of Montana actually compete with
domestic livestock in the use of range
forage? My answer to that question is,
''Not very much" One can find local
situations where there is some such
competition, but they aren't extensive.
AS a rule, the big game herds of West
ern Montana have ample summer for
age in the back country, with but little
livestock interference. But the elk herds
of Montana and of the west now have
a survival problem because their build
up in numbers, mainly in the past 30
years, has caused an overuse of the
limited elk winter ranges in the noun
tain canyons.
I will not try to discuss the depre-
dation aspects of big game-such things
as elk tearing up haystacks and fences,
and deer browsing orchards and the
alfalfa seed crop. These things are, Of
course, locally important, but not any
large part of the incidence of wildlife
upon agriculture, and vice versa.
Herds Now Built Up
Montana big game herds have come
back a long way since their low ebb
of around 1910. Most of the comeback
has been in the past 80 years, or 20
years. Now, it remains to be seen
whether we can manage and sustain
these herds, or must return to greater
wildlife scarcity than ever before. The
elk winter range problem is really
difficult one with few good answers
in sight.
We yet have far to go in our wild
life management the needed under
standing and in the required coopera
ton between hunter, public manage
ment agencies, and farm and ranch
people. Important in this is bette'
understanding of agricultural manage
ment aspects by the hunters and wild
life managers, and greater compre
hension of wildIife biology and survivs
aspects by all who are concerned
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-06-01


Clark expedition know the full story
of Montana's wildlife riches. Now,
though our civilization and agricul-
tural settlement have greatly changed
the habitat for wildlife, most of us
wish to see wildilfe survive and thrive,
as a valued resource.
Certain things are basic in an under
standing of what may be done through
management to aid wildlife survival
and to minimize the possible conflict
and competition between wildlife and
ranch and farm enterprises of an area.
One of these is knowledge of the orig
inal habitat of wildilfe, and how such
habitat now is changed. Another
is good information on the nature and
extent of any conflict between wildlife,
and especially big game, and the ranch
and farm operations of an area. An
other is good technical information ON
the wildlife itself; on its numbers, its
health, its living habits.
I wish to confine this discussion to
the big game aspects of wildlife as re-
lated to ranch and farm enterprise and
management. The subject is, of course,
a controversial one. Not all of the
needed facts are available, and some Of
the answers necessarily depend upon
ones philosophy and beliefs concern
ing what is desirable in public hunting
privileges. Much of the discussion on
the subject is vehement. We've all
heard the ''barbership biology type of
arguments, where the discussion was
not based upon the available informa-
ton.
Natural Migration
Those who know the past history of
Montana wildlife know that one of the
fundamental things in the original nat
ural environment of most Montana big
game was migration extensive sea-
sonal movement and drift.
The antelope, buffalo and elk herds
of the Montana plains used the I'M
sheltered glaciated plains north of the
Missouri River only in the summer
months, and migrated to Central Mon
tana for winter range and the shelter
of the roughlands. The elk and deer
herds of Western Montana migrated out
of the mountain country in the fall,
down into the valleys and into the semi
desert areas for winter. To the east
of the continental divide, the migra.
tion pattern was clear out of the noun.

If you have read the Lewis and Clark
diaries, you will remember that, as
the expedition strained its way up the
Missouri that first year, they were il

South Dakota, in October. There, they
saw antelope swimming the Missouri
