Adult Cow Elk Survival

In 2005 Fish and Game biologists and volunteers fitted 337 adult cow elk with radio collars. Since that time we have been tracking the animals to monitor their survival. To date overall survival among the collared elk has been relatively high. The causes of death have come from a variety of sources. Data regarding cause specific mortality is available by clicking any of the three study areas on the map to the right.
