Elk camera trapping in GRSM near Fines Creek in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: June 25, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-10-16
Summary of proposed field methods and activities: With the assistance of Kim Delozier from Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, we will set 3-4 Reconyx Camera Traps on the ridges between the Cataloochee Valley and Fines Creek. The GPS waypoints for the camera locations will be recorded. The cameras will be set for 3-week periods, and then the SD cards will be retrieved, and the cameras will be relocated to new areas on this tract of land. Any wildlife images that are captured as part of this monitoring will be uploaded to the Candid Critters eMammal website and be made available to NPS. Currently, Kim is attempting to locate access points for these public lands.
