Did Yon Ever See A Purple Cow... Moose?
A unique method of determin
ing the migratory routes of moose
and thereby saving their lives has
been developed by the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service in coopera
tion with the U. S. Army, Alaska,
Alaskan Air Command and the
Alaska Railroad.
In brief the plan is to locate as
many moose as possible by
ground and aerial reconnaissance,
then spray them from head to tail
with a special dye discharged by
a flamethrower. The dye is harm
less both to the moose and the
quality of its meat.
The project started a few days
ago when an astonished moose
was found plodding through the
deep snow in the Fort Richardson
area and was doused from ground
level with orange dye. An unesti
mated number of Alaskan moose
are to be partly dyed yellow,
green or orange in accordance
with the geographic location
where they are found. The oper
ation is expected to continue sp
long as deep snow forces slow
moving moose to cooperate.
The method of marking has
been worked out in order to pro
tect the animals from getting
themselves killed on railroad
tracks and along highways. The
initial job is to determine the ap
- proaches favored by moose in
reaching these death traps. There
after conservation agents will de
cide what action can be taken to
divert the wandering moose to
less dangerous trails. More than
200 moose have been killed by
railroad trains this winter.

According to Corporal Kobert
Hinman, game conservation
agent, USARAL, the openation is
based on a study by the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and
recommended to the Alaska Rail
road as a means to prevent migra
tions across railroad tracks.
“We will experiment in three
different areas,” he said. “Each
area is plotted on a map and the
moose found in these areas will
be dyed a different color. If a
certain colored moose is seen or
killed on the tracks, the color
and area will be recorded so
studies can be made of what
route it took to get there and the
are* from which it came.
“Periodic aerial surveys will

also be made to determine if the
moose are in significant migra
tion. Success of the plan will de
pend on snow depth. It needs to
be deep so a moose cannpt run
fast or far while we are trying
to mark him.”
Conservationists predict that
National Wildlife Week next
week will be unintentionally ad
vertised by a steadily increasing
number of varicolored and be
wildered moose.
