Elk (Cervus elaphus) in western North America commonly show migratory behaviour in montane ecosystems in response to low snow in valleys during the winter and green-up at high elevations in the summer (Bischof et al. 2012; Middleton et al. 2013). Intensification of anthropogenic land uses can disrupt migration by fragmenting habitats, posing barriers to movement, and altering the relative habitat benefits of migration (Bolger et al. 2008; Merkle et al. 2016). In British Columbia’s East Kootenay Trench, an area with increased logging over the past several decades, non-migratory behaviour of elk has increased from 5% in 1993 to 37% in 2009 (Jalkotzy 1994; Phillips and Szkorupa 2011). East Kootenay elk migratory decline has resulted in increasing year-round residency on winter range, which has led to issues such as increased crop depredation. Determining if this migratory decline has continued to present will help inform wildlife managers if current issues of crop depredation are due to an elk population level migratory decline, or individual problem elk. Here we assess East Kootenay elk migratory patterns using consistent subsampling (using only cows as opposed to cows and bulls) and migratory classification methods based on elevation, and determine if elk migratory trends have continued to decline in 2018. Telemetry data was captured by either Very High Frequency (VHF) or Global Positioning System (GPS) collars for three study periods (1986-1993, n=54; 2007-2009, n=36; 2014-2018, n=12). Elk migration was found to decrease from 1986-2009, similar to previous studies findings, but has since recovered in 2018.
