Show Thursday, February 25, 1993 Page A11 University of Southern Utah researching gray wolves Researchers at Utah State University are seeking public input to develop a historical database of gray wolf sightings in Utah. According to a USU fisheries and wildlife assistant professor, recent activity regarding reestablishing gray wolves in the northern mountain states has produced local concerns and information is needed from the public. Robert H. Schmidt said wolves once ranged through much the western United States. Their numbers were greatly reduced by the early 1900s. Today, it appears the wolf is making a comeback. "Populations have established themselves in Montana on the Canadian border, and there is documented wolf activity in central Idaho," the USU biologist said. "In addition, wolf sightings have been reported in Washington, Wyoming and North Dakota. Animals resembling wolves have been shot in the latter two states and Utah." Schmidt said biologists are considering the possible impact of the wolf in Utah. "We need to develop a database including all pertinent information on wolves in Utah." The USU researcher asks anyone with historical information on wolves in the state to telephone the researchers at 750-2536 or send it to the Utah Wolf Study Project, Utah State University, Logan, Utah, 84322-5210. "As we note wolf activity in Idaho and Montana and efforts to reintroduce the wolf into Yellowstone National Park, we think it's time Utah wildlife biologists document historic information on the animals' presence and distribution in the state," Schmidt said. Along with research assistant Kristen La Vine, Schmidt plans to map areas of the state with the potential to support those animals. "We want to emphasize that this is not a wolf reintroduction feasibility effort," Schmidt said. The researchers will also analyze the economic and sociological impacts wolves might produce on Utah. "Our intention is to collect baseline information necessary to allow Utah's citizens to make rational policy decisions regarding gray wolves if these animals do reestablish themselves in Utah."
