Panther #73_F1 (FWC) -- Panther #73_F1 was located on Cow Bone Island on the BCSIR early in October then moved east into the game pen. There her collar came off, presumably the result of insufficiently tightened nuts at her last recollaring. The collar managed to stay on for 11 months despite the fact that the nuts were not cinched down adequately.

During this quarter, she concentrated most of her movements near areas to the east and southeast of Sisal Pond. TX 105 denned in mid July. There was a visual observation of TX 105 from the air on 29 November 1999, but no kittens were observed traveling with her at that moment.

TX108 (ENP) -- TX 108 utilized all of LPK in ENP. Due to a malfunction in TX 108's radio collar, she was not located between 13 November and 13 December 1999. Prior to the radio collar malfunction, she utilized areas such as the western and northern portions of LPK. She also frequented areas to the southwest of LPK near Sisal Pond. We captured and re-collared TX 108 on 14 December 1999, in a hardwood hammock in the western portion of LPK. Following is an account of her offspring.

Panther #61_F1 (ENP) - Initial attempts were made to catch Panther #61F1 in December. Female panther sign was found in #61_F1's old home range and it is assumed to be hers. Despite our efforts she has so far managed to elude capture.
