Biotelemetry studies on elk
The movements of Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) in the eastern Jemez Mountains in north-central New Mexico were studied from 1978 to 1980. Thirty-six elk were trapped, marked, and released, and 30 of these animals were radio-collared. The June 1977 la Mesa fire created a wintering habit at that was used heavily by the radio-collared elk. The 10-year-old clear cuts on Cerro del Medio on the Baca Land and Cattle Company property were used for calving and nursing areas. In general, radio-collared elk used in an early successional state, and they did not use areas at the Los Alamos National Laboratory where there was human activity.
