Missouri’s elk population appears to be settling into their new home state, according to state conservation officials.
Dr. Joseph Millspaugh of the University of Missouri -- Columbia updated the Missouri Conservation Commission today on the state’s elk herd, which he says seems to be doing well.
“(We have) evidence of survival rates (and) reproductive rates that are average to high," Millspaugh said. "We see diet quality certainly within the range of what we would expect.”
