* The Regional Office of the Fish
' and Wildlife Service in Juneau
in a progress report recently pre
pared for the Washington Office
of the conservation agency shows
some active steps being taken to
improve hunting and trapping in
t Alaska.
t The project attracting the most
* attention recently has been the in
itial stocking of mountain goats
* on Kodiak Island. To date, six
goats have been released on the
\ Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge,
[ of which, only one was a female.
■ Unfortunately, this nanny goat
did not survive and the Service
: is making renewed efforts to ob
tain female goats to balance the
present all-male goat population
on the Island. In a recent offer to
would-be live goat trappers $400
is offered for females, in contrast
to $200 or $100 for males, depend
ing on the location of delivery.
Chichagof Island in S. E. Alaska
is also included in the work plan
providing for the goat stocking.
Both islands contain suitable goat
range and will eventually sup
i port a huntable herd of goats if
the experience at Baranof Island
is repeated. Baranof was success
fully stocked with goats some
years ago.
Moose stocking on the Copper
River Flats at Cordova has met
with a greater initial success than
the goat operation. With coopera
tion from a number of sources,
including the Izaak Walton Lea
gue, eight female and six male
moose have been released in the
Cordova area over the past 2M
years. Frequent aerial surveys
show that the moose have adapt
ed themselves to their new' home
and successfully wintered there.
In contrast to the Yakutat area,
which is naturally populated by
moose moving from the Interior
towards the Coast, no moose have
ever been able to move into the
Copper River area; hence the de
cision for the air lift to establish
this big game species there.
Tw'o other stocking projects—
mink on Montague Island in
Prince William Sound and mar
ten on Chichagof Island, were
completed during the year. Other
projects still underway include
stocking of Blacktailed deer near
Skagway and the establishment
of squirrels and marten on Afog
nak Island. Sea otter restocking
attempts have been suspended
pending further study of the dis
ease afflicting the animals period
ically and further study of handl
ing methods.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
emphasizes that the present stock
ing is being done with native
Alaska animals that have proven
adaptable to conditions here.
Funds available for this work will
continue to be expended under
this policy rather than any exten
sive venture in stocking of exotic
ar untried game and fur animals.
In general, nature has done the
aest job of fitting animals to
heir proper environment and
vise management of existing
>ame and fur stock is the real
cey to wildlife conservation in
Alaska. For those relatively few
ireas .however, in need of stock
ng the Service functions only to
issist nature in by-passing a na
ural barrier that obstructs move
nent of the animals into unoc- ’
upied range.
