Wildlife Officials Tracking Elk In Estes Valley
ESTES PARK, Colo. (CBS4) -- Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are putting new GPS collars on cow elk in the Estes Valley. The collars allow officers to track the animals so they can understand how they use the landscape.
Late last week a wildlife officer, biologist & wildlife technician put new GPS collars on some cow elk in the Estes Valley. These collars track their movements, which allows us to better understand their migration patterns & how they utilize the landscape throughout the year. pic.twitter.com/kdBbIRLZpg

Officers say this cow was over 10 years old and in very good body condition - which is really great to see this time of year.
