Washington Predator-Prey Project

The Washington Predator-Prey Project is a five-year research effort on the effects of wolves and their competitors on ungulate populations in managed landscapes. The project looks at the impact to mule deer, white-tailed deer, and elk from wolves and smaller carnivores such as cougars, bobcats, and coyotes. WDFW is collaborating with the University of Washington (UW) on this project, focusing on two study areas with varying levels of wolf presence in Stevens, Pend Oreille, and Okanogan counties. Researchers outfitted deer, elk, wolves, cougars, coyotes, and bobcats with GPS radio collars to obtain information on the survival, sources of mortality, productivity, movements, distribution, and resource use of both predators and prey. They also deployed motion-sensing cameras and audio recorders to collect information on the behavior, interactions, and activity of predators and prey.
