Wolves Located on the 03/05-07 Telemetry
Flight
This email format is representative of the
changes to the approved SOP 26 "Location
Dissemination Guidelines" (see attached
SOP). After 9 March 2007, weekly flight locations
will no longer be individually emailed, but
will be posted on the following website:
http://azgfd.gov/wolf. The most recent flight
locations will now be equally available to
all people.
Wolves are mobile, so wolf location information
tends to be outdated from the moment it is
collected. The prudent assumption for any
person is that Mexican wolves might be present
in any part of the BRWRA at any time.
