Abstract: This monograph summarizes the 1978-1984 radio telemetry studies of elk captured on the NER to investigate their seasonal distributions, the locations and timing of their migrations from various summer ranges, natality rates, survival rates and causes of mortality, and changes in the Jackson herd's size in response to various harvest strategies. Location of elk calving areas and spring migrations of elk and bison are viewed in relation to the potential for transmission of brucellosis from elk and bison to cattle.
