Research project sheds light on western North Dakota elk
North Dakota’s elk are thriving, and a recent three-year study in the Badlands has offered a deeper look into how these herds live and move. Researchers tracked elk with GPS collars, gathering more than a million data points, and confirmed what landowners have long suspected: the population is strong—and growing. While young bulls sometimes roam far, most herds stay close to home. With survival rates high and numbers climbing, wildlife officials are adjusting hunting licenses to keep the balance between elk and landowners in check. Brad Dokken with Grand Forks Herald has the full story.
