Yellowstone National Park has announced that elk calving season has begun!
Cow elk are much more aggressive towards people during the calving season and may charge or kick. Stay alert. Look around corners before exiting buildings or walking around blind spots: cow elk may bed their calves near buildings and cars. Keep at least 25 yards from elk at all times.
If an elk charges you, find shelter in your vehicle or behind a tall, sturdy barrier as quickly as possible.
Remember: You're responsible for your own safety.
