Mexican Wolf Blue Range Reintroduction Project Telemetry Flight Locations for the Week of May 12, 2008
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(3) wolves are mobile, so wolf location information tends to be outdated from the moment it is collected.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.
Please note that we are currently in denning and rendezvous season for wolves. SOP 26.0: Location Dissemination Guidelines dictates that “During denning and rendezvous season (April 15 - July 30), the IFT also discusses wolf locations with specific permittees and landowners, as necessary, in addition to providing more general locations through weekly postings at http://azgfd.gov/wolf.”
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.
