CPW website species profile: Elk

Elk serve as one of Colorado’s most ecologically and economically important mammals. Therefore, it is critical that wildlife managers have the information and tools they need to properly manage elk populations. This involves understanding changes in habitat, climate, predator communities, and human development and how these changes impact elk population demography and behavior.

Current Elk Research Projects:

Evaluating Factors Influencing Elk Recruitment in Colorado
Response of Elk to Human Recreation at Multiple Scales
Spatiotemporal Effects of Human Recreation on Elk Behavior

Completed Elk Research Projects

Evaluating Solutions to Reduce Elk and Mule Deer Damage to Agriculture
Evaluating the Influence of Human Harvest, Carnivores, Climate, and Habitat on Female Elk Survival Across Western North America
See Mammals Research: Progress Reports (1939-current) for more elk research projects
