Coeur d'Alene elk herd shows stable condition in limited helicopter count
A helicopter count across Unit 4 of the Coeur d Alene forest between Pend Oreille Lake and the North Fork found 564 elk in under six hours, with 26 calves per 100 cows. The crew compares this to 1,200 animals in 1966 after 40 hours of flight, noting good range, hunting pressure effects, and potential calf losses after the 1968–69 winter.

New Fish Pump Aids Idaho Hatcheries
The Idaho Fish and Game Department ordered a fish handling pump to transfer and grade fish in hatcheries and Idaho Power will buy a similar pump for steelhead at Niagara Springs. Demonstrations showed the device easily grading thousands of 6 to 7 inch steelhead without injury and moving jack salmon up to 18 inches. The Hagerman hatchery will receive the pump before summer, and a 6 1/2 million fall chinook load was handled in Oregon and Washington tests at about 300 pounds per minute.
