Refuge Manager
Asks for Reports
On Tagged Moose
Bob Wade, assistant refuge
manager of the Kenai Peninsula
Moose Range, is requesting hunt
ters to report all information on
any moose killed that may be
wearing a tag. Statistics on the
grazing range, weight of animal,
and other data are needed by the
Fish and Wildlife Department in
making survey reports of big
game animals.
,This year, 75 new born moose
were tagged, Wade said.
Eight adult moose were tagged
in the spring of 1960, Wade re
ported. Only one has been re
ported to date.
Du'. Paul Isaak of Soldotna took
a bull moose in September 1961
that had been tagged in Febru
ary 1960. The moose was tagged
at the Soldotna Y and weighed
800 pounds at the time. It dressed
out 800 pounds when taken by the
Doctor at Funny River airstrip,
only 17 miles from where it was
tagged.
Wade also is wondering if any
hunter during the moose season
will see “Mildred.” A cow moose
was such a persistent caller near
Federal Aviation Agency build
ings last year that Kenai FHA
workers named her Mildred. An
orange tag was placed in her ear
and Mildred has ibeen spotted sev
eral times this past spring on the
east side of the Kenai airstiip.
Hunters should mail the tag
and complete information concern
ing the animal wearing it to the
address listed on the back of the
tag, Wade said.
