Item Description
A rare opportunity awaits TWO PHYSICALLY FIT PERSONS to be involved in a ground search for newborn elk calves.
Join a team of Idaho Department of Fish and Game wildlife biologists as they search and capture elk calves by hand, take body measurements and fit calves with an expandable radio-collar.
The collared calves will be used to monitor the annual survival and seasonal movements of elk summering in the Centennial Mountains (western half of Unit 61), north of Sand Creek desert.
This TWO DAY/ONE OVERNIGHT trip includes overnight accommodations with dinner, breakfast and a backpack lunch. Winning bidders will be hiking long distances in remote, rugged bear country (grizzly and black bear) with a lot of mosquitoes. Bidders need field clothing, hiking boots, raingear, sleeping bags and insect repellent. Winners will provide transportation to Island Park, Idaho.
TRIP TAKES PLACE MAY 29 through JUNE 15, 2010.
Winning bidder also receives an 11x17 pen and ink elk print by Idaho wildlife artist Glenn Crockett. The artwork is beautifully framed in a rustic wood/rope frame. (This framed print was generously donated by a couple who have participated in the auction for over a decade.)
Item Special Note
