Mexican Wolf Blue Range Reintroduction Project Telemetry Flight Locations for the Week of February 26, 2008
Standard Operating Procedure 26.0, Location Dissemination Guidelines, directs that the Reintroduction Project posts approximate wolf locations from weekly monitoring flights at http://www.azgfd.gov/wolf within 48 hours of each flight. Wolf location information includes two bearings (N, S, E, W, NE, SW, etc.) and distance (to the nearest ½ mile) from a landmark. Note: As requested by the White Mountain Apache and San Carlos Apache tribes, the Project does not post or otherwise provide to the public any wolf location information for the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and the San Carlos Apache Reservation.
The Reintroduction Project provides the public with information on wolf locations with the following caveats: (1) inclement weather can limit the availability and quality of location information; (2) location information is largely limited to radio-collared wolves and uncollared wolves associated with them; and (3) wolves are mobile, so wolf location information tends to be outdated from the moment it is collected. Again, the prudent assumption for any person is that Mexican wolves might be present in any part of the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area at any time.
