Wildlife Survey Shows Elk Calf Ratios Differ By Drainage
A census in the Coeur d Alene and St Joe drainages counted 1200 elk with 800+ on the St Joe. Calves per 100 cows reached 46 on the St Joe and 33 on the Coeur d Alene, indicating stronger calf production on the St Joe. Officials discuss winter range, habitat management, and seasonal hunting as controls. They note efforts to improve ranges via controlled burning and brush cutting, plus turkey transplants from St Maries to various locations.
