* Elk calving season will begin soon in Yellowstone National Park.
* 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.
* You are responsible for your own safety.
* Visit Elk for more information.
