Reminder: May To July Is Elk Calving Season
COUNTY News:
If you spot a newborn elk calf in the wild, do not approach or touch it. While it may look alone, the mother is almost always nearby.
Picking up or disturbing these calves can seriously harm their survival chances and put you in danger—mother elk fiercely protect their young.
Here’s what you should do:
- Observe from a distance—don’t go near or pet the calf;
- Never remove a calf from the wild; and
- Leave the area quickly and quietly.
If you believe a baby animal is sick or injured, contact New Mexico Game and Fish at 888.248.6866 or 505.476.8000.
Protect elk calves—give them space and help keep Read More
