Hunters Reminded
To Turn In
Elk Information
Hunters are reminded to report
their kills and turn in their deer
and elk jaws to the Game Division
office of the Alaska Department
of Fish and Game. Any field rep
resentative of the Department will
also receive them.
The Game Division also is plan
ning to collect as many female
elk reproductive tracts as possible.
According to Ron Batchelor, bi
ologist for the Department, a spe
cial study is being made of the
elk of Raspberry and Afognak Is
lands, in order to better under
stand them, and plan management.
Hunters, he said, can assist in this
project by turning in the reproduc
tive tracts of any cow elk killed
this season.
Batchelor stated: “The tract can
best be removed by cutting intern
ally of the genital vent and follow
ing it to the ovaries, which are
about the size and shape of a lima
bean. Care should be taken when
removing the tract as the ovaries
are frequently embedded in a layer
of fat and might be overlooked. It
is requested that the entire tract,
not just the ovaries alone, be re
moved as it is needed for study.”
The jaws provide valuable infor
mation on the age composition of
the big herds and this in turn in
dicates their condition. The repro
ductive tracts shed light on the
current rate of production of elk
herds.
“The assistance the hunter gives
both these programs will materi
ally aid in the management of big
game herds and thus provide them
with more and better hunting,”
Batchelor stated.
