Elk Release

Caption

Researchers release a collared cow elk in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains in southern Wyoming. Elk in that region avoid areas of the forest where a bark beetle epidemic has killed lodgepole pine trees, newly published research shows. Among those involved in this release were: from left, Wyoming Game and Fish Department biologist Tony Mong; Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Director Matt Kauffman; University of Wyoming graduate student Bryan Lamont; and UW Assistant Professor Kevin Monteith.
