Wolf Weekly Wrap-up Posted: 13 Sep 2013 09:43 AM PDT Teaming with tribe to protect cattle – Working directly with a north-central Idaho cattle producer, Defenders coexistence expert Russ Talmo and Nez Perce Tribal Wildlife Biologist Jim Holyan helped erect turbo-fladry and motion cameras around a cow camp on a mix of leased state and private lands. This producer sought assistance with nonlethal options to deter members of the Chesimia Pack from coming in contact with resident cattle dogs and to prevent wolves from becoming habituated to this human-inhabited area. Fladry is an effective tool for preventing conflicts with wolves, particularly when used in conjunction with other deterrents like air horns, spot lights, blinking lights and human presence. Kudos to the producer for being proactive in preventing conflicts and seeking ways to coexist with area wildlife.
