From the Abstract: "Anthropogenic disturbance may alter the movements and habitat use of Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti). Persistent human disturbance may ultimately lead to increased energetic demands, decreased reproductive success, a greater risk of predation, and the avoidance of habitats that would otherwise be utilized. Home range size, habitat use, movements, and herd fidelity were measured on 14 radio-collared female elk to assess the effect of logging and hunting disturbances on the Hoko and Dickey Game Management Units, Clallam County, Washington." Home ranges included areas of Olympic National Park.
