Walter W, Lavelle M, Fischer J, Johnson T, Hygnstrom S, VerCauteren K. 2010. Management of damage by elk (Cervus elaphus) in North America: a review. Wildlife Research. 37:630-646
We reviewed methods that are available to control abundant populations of elk that include lethal and non-lethal options. Several methods in our review were implemented on deer and additional research on elk and other cervids in conflict with human interests would provide a much needed component to our understanding of management methods available for ungulate species.
