Abstract:

This report presents results of questionnaires sent to biologists and trappers in the State of Idaho to determine the presence of wolverines (Gulo gulo) within the state. Responses to the questionnaires resulted in 10 confirmed and 89 probable reports of the species between 1960 and 1987. Three main areas (Selkirk Mountains, Lochsa and Kelly Creek drainages, Sawtooth and Smoky Mountains) appear to contain wolverine populations. Further detailed analysis on population status and ecology are needed.
