<br />1 <br /> Significant Wildlife Resources. As recorded in the <br />1 Di <br /> vision of Wildlife files of map and tabular data for select <br />t species in Clear Creek County, there are nine species (including <br /> one group of three similar species) that are considered key <br />' indicator species. The nine species are Abert's Squirrel, Black <br /> Bear, Blue Grouse, Coyote, Bobcat and Fox, grouped as Furbearers, <br />' d Red-tailed Hawk <br />Elk <br />M <br />P <br />i <br />i <br />Falc <br />M <br />t <br />i <br />Li <br />l <br />D <br /> eer, <br />ra <br />r <br />e <br />on an <br />. <br />, <br />oun <br />a <br />n <br />on, <br />u <br />e <br />' The Wildlife Division characterizes overall county abundance of <br /> these species as common in occurrence. <br />' There are seven other select species that are not normally <br /> found on this tract but are mentioned in passing as follows: <br />' Beaver, Bighorn Sheep, Lynx, Mountain Goat, Pine Martin, <br />' Ptarmigan and Turkey. <br /> Elk and Mule Deer present special distribution and population <br />' status considerations which are discussed under separate <br /> headings. <br />' ELK <br /> According to the Wildlife Division map data, the Walstrum <br />' <br /> h9ine is located on the borderline of what is termed critical <br />' winter range. The foregoing information does not appear to be <br />accurate in light of results obtained from May 5,.1983 <br />t pellet-group count transact data. On that date, two 10-plot, .O1 <br />acre transacts yielded no Elk pellet groups on one and yielded <br />1 five on the other. Five pellet groups equal 50 pellet groups per <br />' acre or 3.8 Elk days use per acre. Amore logical conclusion from <br />ii <br />25-A <br />II <br />
