Multi-faceted study helps researchers better understand Wisconsin’s southern elk herd

Typically born away from the herd in the remote, even isolated, reaches of the 68,000- acre Black River State Forest, these four-legged animals are far from alone.
Elk calves, after all, are a high-interest species that are GPS-tracked a few days after hitting the landscape. A Wisconsin DNR team, headed by biologist Christina Kizweski and stocked with volunteers, has been locating elk calves during the May and June birthing season, then fitting the 42-pound (average) critters with expandable GPS collars.

Learning more about S3DA with National Conservation Coordinator Patty Reel

One of the more exciting parts of the S3DA Eastern National Championship recently held at Rend Lake’s gorgeous archery course in Illinois was knowing that I would finally have an opportunity to catch up in person with Patty Reel.
