Elk At Nature Center

An elk herd prepares to merge with traffic on James River Freeway

Springfield Mo.- Officials from the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Springfield Visitors Bureau have announced that 200 elk will soon call the Springfield Nature Center home. “This is not only a good day for the elk, but a good day for the visitors to the Nature Center,” commented Jeanie Hugtree, Nature Center spokesperson. “With 200 elk coming in, the public will get a real up close and personal view of them. Sightseeing elk will be more popular than ever. I also understand that elk are good for the environment, but we are not sure how.”

There were concerns about having elk of any numbers at the Nature Center but those issues have been addressed. According to Hugtree, “Some people thought there might be danger on the roads. We have found that vehicle crashes in states that have herds that have been restored have not been a problem. They make the elk get a license before they get on the road.”

Another potential problem was the spread of disease within the elk herd as well as the deer population. “After meeting with the elk,” commented Hugtree, they agreed to having yearly exams and practice safe sex during mating season. As far as the deer go, they have agreed not to stick their nose in the elks business. They know that chronic waste disease from elk can wipe out a deer herd and they want no part of that.”

Having nearby farm fields could be a buffet for the elk. Since elk do not jump fences, they go through them, it could be an expensive problem. “Again, the elk know to stay on their side of the fence. If they did for some reason go across their border they would be guilty of illegal migration. Since that is a state issue, officials would step in and take control and deport them back to the Nature Center,” stated Hugtree. FCN reporters asked, “Since hunting is not allowed on Nature Center property, what steps will be taken if the elk population gets out of control?” “We have an awesome backup plan,”said Jeanie Hugtree. “It’s called Canadian gray wolfs. The elks natural predator.”
