This $914,153 federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education program (CFDA 15.611) will fund research by the State of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to develop information that managers can use to effectively manage habitats for elk, mule deer, and other ungulates in Oregon and western North America.

The research will focus on two main objectives: 1) completing several investigations including publishing findings on pronghorn migration corridors, elk body fat changes due to climate change, elk habitat use comparison, model validation, mule deer survival assessments, and impacts of an invasive plant on elk habitat use; and 2) capturing and collaring 40 elk in the Blue Mountains to assess their seasonal home ranges and population boundaries. This work aims to inform land management practices, travel plans, and long-term habitat planning to support ungulate populations and recreational hunting.
