[QUOTE="jmden, post: 592968, member: 1742"] Quote from Roy's first link above where folks gps collared a wolf to track it and gps collared 10 cattle on a ranch...very revealing in more ways than one: ---------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, researchers caught one male gray wolf, B446, and fitted it March 30, 2009, with a GPS collar that recorded position data every 15 minutes. Eventually, the data showed the wolf present at two cattle kills and probably involved in one. As a result, wildlife authorities killed the wolf after 190 days wearing the collar and downloaded its information, Anderson said. “This data just flat blew us away,” he said. It showed the wolf came into proximity of all 10 collared cows at one time or another. The wolf came within about 500 yards of all 10 on 784 occasions. It came within 100 yards on 54 occasions, according to information Anderson provided. On several occasions, the wolf and collared cattle were basically in the same spot, according to his records. Anderson’s presentation also highlights how the collared wolf came within 500 yards of homes around the ranch on 307 occasions, and lingered a full day within 300 yards of a ranch lodge. “The wolf stayed there all day,” Anderson said, pointing to an aerial photo of the site. “And that’s a well-traveled country road right there. It actually came down and we had wolf manure in the garden.” -------------------------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
