But it's all part of the job for three pilots working for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Aerial inventory surveys of elk, moose, buffalo and waterfowl are prime tools in determining proper techniques for managing Utah's wildlife. crews. Occasionally they may respond to e emergency calls for fire control or missions. search-and-rescu- The pilots are responsible for maintaining the Division's three Cessna airplanes. Contrary to a popular mistaken notion, the Division has never owned a helicopter in its history of aerial game monitoring according to chief pilot, Ralph Noble. 25-ye- ar When snow and cold hits Utah, aerial elk antelope country. Antelope monitoring is conducted before fawning season and again later in the summer. census surveys begin. During cold weather, elk tend to bunch together for warmth and are easy to spot against the white landscape. Flying low and slow, the pilots are able to estimate animal numbers in elk herds of several hundred. Elk do not spook easily at the sight of an aircraft. However, cruising directly over the herd is avoided, unless scattering the animals will facilitate a more accurate count. Noble says that by counting elk in 16 different units each winter, an estimation of herd population trends may be obtained.

But he notes with satisfaction that no serious injuries have occurred in his 23 years with the Division. Currently the three pilots are logging more than 1,500 hours annually by assisting biologists in the management of Utah's fish and wildlife. During July and August, DWR pilots take to the air with loads of fingerling fish for 300 high mountain lakes. To drop their live cargo, the pilots will sometimes swoop to within 100 feet of the surface. an manufacturing Aerial telemetry studies continue pilots in In addition, many of Utah's high mountain lakes are accessible for fish stocking only by aircraft. Aerial telemetry (radio monitoring of game) is a fairly recent game management technique by which the migration patterns of animals may be traced by use of radio transmitters. Elk, bighorn sheep, deer, cougar and sage grouse are all current subjects of telemetry studies. When not monitoring game or stocking fish, the DWR pilots, Ralph Noble, Chuck Morris and Paul Miley, may haul cargo such as fish eggs or equipment for DWR construction VTJOUGlW D3fl0GD0gDuD0lfflV 8a FINANCING ON APPROVED CREDIT MOST MAJOR CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED m. to 2 p.m. |
