Montana Tales & Trails: The Wandering Moose
by Bruce Auchly
After all the slicing and dicing and
studying of wildlife, along comes an
animal or two that just won’t fit into a
category, showing us we really don’t
know it all.
In the last two years, a pair of cow
moose radio collared on the Rocky
Mountain Front as part of a 10-year
population dynamics study has displayed
a wanderlust that has confounded Nick
DeCesare, research wildlife biologist
with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
“We’ve seen local migrations, but
nothing like these two,” DeCesare said.
One female moose took off the
summer of 2015 from the Pine Butte
Swamp west of Choteau and strolled to
Fresno Reservoir northwest of Havre.
That’s a straight line distance of about
110 miles, longer the way the moose
walks.
By fall 2015, the five-year-old animal
had returned to Pine Butte Swamp and
has not left since.
This summer a different moose
– age three – took off west from the
Rocky Mountain Front. She crossed the
Continental Divide, walked through the
Bob Marshall Wilderness, and ended
up on the Clark Fork River near Deer
Lodge and Anaconda.
This fall, she headed back, crossing
the Divide near Roger’s Pass, spending
time in front yards around Fairfield,
then heading north past Choteau and
was last seen near Conrad.
AAA couldn’t have come up with a
more scenic trip.
“Most moose don’t move around
a lot,” DeCesare said. “In fact, many
moose will spend the entire year in an
area covering only a few square miles.”
Of the 105 moose radio collared
in this study, these are the only two to
range widely.
DeCesare’s study is looking at what

In the Big Hole cow survival is down,
possibly from parasites and disease, but
recruitment is good.
The Front has the best population
growth of all, he said.
“The Front is one of the few places
in the state with a growing population,”
DeCesare said. “They have a really high
productivity, survival of adult cows and
recruitment.”
Maybe that’s it.
Maybe the neighborhood got
too crowded for the two females and
they started looked for new addresses,
perhaps a fixer-upper.
“Just when you think you’ve seen it

 The Montana Association of Clerks and Recorders
is sponsoring a $1000 scholarship for a graduating senior who
will be attending an IN STATE SCHOOL.
The last day of acceptance of applications is March 15, 2017.
Applications are available at all high schools located in Valley
County and at the Clerk and Recorder’s office in the courthouse.
Applications must be received by the Clerk and Recorder by March 15, 2017
and will be judged on the basis of need, scholarship, and school and civic
involvement. The state winner and alternate will be notified after May 1, 2017.
The scholarship will be given directly to the school of the student’s choice after
the student has been accepted by the school.
OPEN LETTER TO THE MONTANA LEGISLATORS
As the 65th MT Legislative Session opened for
business last week the usual calls for budget cuts were
exceedingly shrill. What made matters worse this year
was the loss of revenue due to the demise of the coal
and oil and gas industries in Montana. We knew this
day of reckoning was coming, so now the budget knives
are being sharpened and the fun has begun. I have a
suggestion.
In the last legislative session the Governor proposed
(and the legislature dutifully passed) $10 million to
assist sage grouse populations. This was in addition to
the $400 million being spent for the same purpose by
the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
All this money was being spent on a species that WAS
NOT listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by
the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
The response from the proponents of these programs
was that their actions addressed the FWS concerns and
that led to the species not being listed. So what were those
concerns? The Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
stated in the 2013 HiLine Draft Resource Management
Plan, “[i]nadequacy of regulatory mechanisms was
identified as a major threat in the USFWS findings on
the petition to list the Greater Sage-Grouse.”
In other words, the road to salvation for the
sage grouse was more regulation. That seemed to be
the Obama administration’s answer to all problems!
Unfortunately, regulations don’t solve problems and
often just add to them.
The federal land management agencies and the state
wildlife management agency burned the midnight oil
to formulate rules and regulations to appease the FWS.
Their stated purpose was to protect and enhance the
vegetation aspect of the sage grouse’s habitat. A problem
arises if abundant sagebrush landscapes are available but
there are few or no birds to occupy it. At this point the
causes of mortality should be investigated. Numerous
research papers have identified nest predation, chick

predation, and adult predation as the main mortality
factors for sage grouse. Additionally, adverse weather
and disease have been reported to frequently cause
heavy losses. Unfortunately, the proposed rules and
regulations have little or no impact on these causes of
mortality and, therefore, will have little or no impact on
sage grouse populations.
Another major concern is that this action increased
the scope of the ESA to cover species that MAY be
considered for listing at some future date. This opens
the door to further regulatory restrictions imposed by
the FWS. The non government organizations (NGOs)
are continually petitioning the FWS to list species. I
recently heard there was talk of petitioning to list the
striped skunk! Grassland birds are also frequently
mentioned and don’t forget the black-tailed prairie dog
was ruled ‘warranted but precluded’. Is the legislature
prepared to allocate $10 M for each of these species?
In conclusion, the millions spent on sage grouse
have produced few positive results. For example, when
MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) reinstated a very
restrictive hunting season in 2016, their justification
was that sage grouse populations had increased to the
point they could withstand a limited harvest. The reason
for the increase was that sage grouse populations were
cyclical and were in an upswing. It was also noted the
weather had been favorable for the last couple of years.
There was no mention that the vast sums of money that
had been spent on this species had any impact on the
populations. Nor were additional regulations credited
with improving the weather!
Therefore, my suggestion is to cut your losses and
put the $10 M either into predator management or back
into the General Fund!
Thank you
