Elk

Two sub-species of elk (Cervus elaphus) reside in Oregon. The Rocky Mountain (C. e. nelsoni) subspecies is found east of the Cascades, while Roosevelt elk (C. e. roosevelti) are distributed throughout the Coast and Cascade Ranges of western Oregon. Elkoccur throughout the state of Oregon, but are most abundant in the Blue and Wallowa Mountains and in the northern Coast Range and least abundant in the southeastern high desert region. Roosevelt elk are typically larger and darker in color, and bulls have more massive antlers and a narrower spread than Rocky Mountain elk. Variation among individuals within the two subspecies often makes identifi cation diffi cult.

Although elk are now fi rmly established in Oregon, this has not always been the case. Numbers were so low at the turn of the century due to market hunting for meat, teeth, and antlers that all hunting was prohibited from 1908-1932. Protection and management resulted in the increase and spread of elk populations until hunting again became possible by 1933.

Management strategies have evolved as habitat conditions, hunter participation, and elk populations changed over the years. In order to measure proper hunter numbers and elk harvest goals, management objectives for elk numbers for each management unit were established in 1981.

Attempting to restore or maintain mature bulls in herds throughout the state, while still controlling overall populations, has had several impacts on hunters. Limited entry units often mean hunters must be fl exible and willing to try new areas, spike-only hunts, or antlerless hunts in order to hunt elk every year.

Life History

Elk breeding behavior involves a complex social system, which revolves around mature bulls gathering harems. This complex process may be altered if bull:cow ratios and/or mature bull:yearling bull ratios become skewed. Studies of Roosevelt elk in western Oregon and Rocky Mountain elk in northeastern Oregon indicate that fewer than 10 older bulls/100 cows during the breeding season can cause delays in conception, aff ect conception rates, and may contribute to reduced calf survival.

The time of breeding for elk in Oregon typically extends from late August through mid-November. Most cows, however, are bred during a shorter time period, mostly by mid-October. Information collected in a recent study in northeastern Oregon indicates



55

that when breeding is done primarily by mature bulls (3 ½ years or older) the range of breeding dates is shortened and the median breeding date is up to two weeks earlier.

Reproductive success is closely related to nutrition, body condition, physical health, and age of females. Cows in good body condition during breeding are more likely to conceive, and calf survival will generally be higher than for cows that are nutritionally stressed. Calves born early with higher birth weights typically have a better chance of surviving.

Adult cow elk that have nutritious forage available to them typically produce a calf each year. Roosevelt elk cows in the coastal areas of Oregon typically produce a calf every other year. Reduced levels of physical condition and lower pregnancy rate of lactating cows indicate that the nutritional base in western Oregon is not suffi cient to allow many of the lactating cows to breed in successive years.

Distribution

Quality, quantity, and arrangement of several habitat components aff ect the distribution of elk. Availability and distribution of food, water, shelter, space, and harassment due to human activities ultimately determine the number of elk an area can produce and the amount of recreation that can be provided. Migratory herds need high quality forage on transitional winter and summer ranges. Resident herds must fi nd sources of quality forage within their herd range.

During summer, elk use damp sites such as meadows and riparian areas, which off er nutritious forage, and moist, cool places for escaping summer heat and insects. Winter survival is primarily dependent on fat stores; thus, quality summer forage is at least as important as adequate winter food for over-winter survival. Elk require a mosaic of early forage-producing stages and later cover-forming stages of forest development -- both in close proximity. In

western Oregon, Roosevelt elk utilize forest clearcuts heavily. In many areas, elk will seek out fertilized meadows, pastures, and crops such as alfalfa. Vegetation in high rainfall zones generally lack nutritional quality as compared to mineral-rich ranges in eastern Oregon. Changes in ownership patterns, societal attitudes, forest management, and increases in road-building on public lands have encouraged elk to move out of forested habitats on public land to private lands in some areas. In northeastern Oregon, most summer ranges for elk are on public lands, whereas winter ranges largely are on private lands. Herein lies the source of most complaints of damage to crops and property. While new opportunities are emerging for hunters, ranchers and farmers can experience serious damage to crops when elk become resident on their land.

Management

Elk management involves a variety of steps, which include 1) establishing management objectives, 2) regulating hunting seasons, 3) maintaining and improving habitat, and 4) monitoring harvest and elk populations. Successful management requires consideration of both biological and social issues during the decision-making process.

The Oregon Fish & Wildlife Commission adopted a minimum statewide postseason ratio of 10 bulls per 100 cows in 1992. A 3-tiered bull management system provides a diversity of hunting opportunities with 10, 15, or 20 bulls/100 cows post season. Various management techniques are recommended to reach bull escapement objectives. These include controlled-entry bull hunting, spike-only seasons, and changes in season timing. Population management objectives were revised in 2005 for each Big Game Unit to maintain elk numbers at levels compatible with their habitat and agricultural considerations.

Annual inventories are conducted to determine population trend and herd composition (sex and age ratios). This information is typically collected



56

from fi xed wing aircraft or helicopter. Some herd composition data is collected from the ground. Composition and trend information are collected from February through early April. Each animal is classifi ed as bull, cow, or calf, and bull antler class is recorded. This data is later converted to the number of bulls and calves per 100 cows. Herd composition is one measure of bull and calf survival. Low bull:cow ratios generally indicate excessive bull harvest, and low calf:cow ratios suggest poor calf survival. Population trend is an index to the end-of-winter population size. Trend data is expanded to a population estimate, which is compared to population management objectives (MOs) for each unit and used along with herd composition data for recommending hunting season regulations. Collecting reproductive tracts, udders, and teeth from harvested antlerless elk in selected units helps ODFW monitor reproduction and the age structure of the population. Pregnancy rates, average age of females, and number of lactating cows (indicating that they raised a calf ) are estimated from these collections.

Computer modeling of elk populations is used extensively to assist in making management decisions. All factors aff ecting reproduction and mortality, such as weather, harvest, natural mortality, and

habitat, are considered in this process. Models allow managers to look at several years of harvest, calf survival, and bull ratios to determine the appropriate level of tags to meet management objectives for bull escapement and winter population.

Oregon consistently ranks among the top three western states for elk numbers, hunter numbers, and elk harvest. Hunter success for bull and antlerless hunts combined remains fairly stable annually. The wetter climate in western Oregon creates brushy, heavily timbered habitat broken only by clearcuts, while eastern Oregon has much more open country with less underbrush, and more snow to help in tracking elk. More detailed information regarding elk can be found in Oregon’s Elk Management Plan on the department’s Web site.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)

CWD has not been detected in any Oregon samples obtained since testing began in 1996. Regulations are in place to help prevent CWD from being brought to Oregon from animals harvested in CWD states (see regulations).

Elk hunters are encouraged to allow there animals to be sampled for CWD or stop at biological sampling stations that may be set up during hunting seasons. Sampling takes only a few minutes and will not impact any taxidermy you may want to do with your trophy.
