Summary

Remotely sensed elk locations were derived from satellite and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) imagery collected during the winter of 2018 and the winter and spring of 2019 at the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, Wyoming and compared to locations from Global Positioning System (GPS) collars from 2017 - 2019. This data release provides the source, date, time, latitude, and longitude of elk locations and the type of analyses the location data were used for in the accompanying manuscript by Graves and others 2021. DOI will be provided once supplied by the journal.

Purpose

Elk locations were collected on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Elk Refuge, Wyoming to examine 1) changes in aggregation associated with supplemental feeding and 2) compare data sources and ways of measuring density. Density provides information for adaptive management for many reasons. It may be useful for mitigating risk of disease such as brucellosis or chronic wasting disease (CWD).
