V-14 Elk
Color Reproduction | By Charles Beckendorf
Additional Information
The indigenous elk of the Trans Pecos was the Merriams subspecies and was totally hunted out by the 1880's. Elk were reintroduced into the Guadalupe Mountains of Texas in 1929. These elk came from a refuge in South Dakota and were released at the mouth of McKittrick Canyon, but they went just about everywhere except McKittrick Canyon. They have spread out over the surrounding areas, survived and multiplied. Several hundred elk now roam free in and around the Guadalupes.
