Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the interrelation of livestock grazing and big game management on the rangelands of northern Idaho and northeastern Washington. The author, an expert in range management, provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with these multiple-use lands. The book begins with an introduction to the area's history of settlement and land use, then delves into the specific challenges of grazing management in each of five distinct grazing types: open grasslands, permanent forest lands, transitory forest ranges, mountain meadows, and subalpine herblands. The author discusses the complex ecology of each type in detail and provides valuable recommendations for improving range conditions while considering other land uses. Of particular interest is the author's discussion of the critical issue of big game winter range, which is essential to maintaining the large populations of elk and deer in the area. The author provides novel insights into the challenges of managing habitat for both livestock and big game, and how to balance the often-competing interests of ranchers and hunters. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the sustainable management of rangelands for multiple uses. The author's research-based recommendations and in-depth analysis make this book a must-read for ranchers, wildlife managers, and anyone concerned with the preservation of these vital ecosystems.
