  "Samples like this don't come around very often," said Margaret Wild, wildlife biologist for the National Park Service.

  Wild said the fertility research really is just to see if the method works, not to see if it could help solve Rocky Mountain National Park's elk problem.
  
  However, if the birth control does work - and is eventually approved by the United States Department of Agriculture - it would be perfect for the national park, where hunting is not allowed, Wild added.
  
  Work on the fertility test kicks off in a few weeks, when researchers will find and tranquilize 120 cows.
  
  Half of the cows will receive the fertility treatment and the other half will receive a placebo, Wild said.

  Margaret Wild, Wildlife Veterinarian and Program leader for the National Park Service, has been one of the key investigators assigned to work in the field.
  
  "Rocky Mountain National Park has given us a really great opportunity to learn more about some new tools that may help with future management of elk both in RMNP and in other parks," said Wild.
  ...
  "This is what's really pretty cool about this study," said Wild.
  ...
  "We'll get 120 collars out in the next month," said Wild.
  ...
  "Certainly now we're not talking management action to reduce CWD prevalence," said Wild.

  ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK - Margaret Wild crouched behind a boulder, squinted down the rifle sight, then squeezed off a perfect shot in the hip that made the cow elk flinch before running off into the meadow.
  ...
  "You never know how the elk will react," Wild said of the dart she just fired."Sometimes it stings them and they run a ways; and other times they hardly feel a thing.
  
  "But most times they don't go more than 100 yards."
  
  Wild isn't one of the sharpshooters that, under the park's recently announced Elk and Vegetation Management Plan, will take aim at reducing the burgeoning elk herd by 100 to 200 animals annually over the next 20 years to reduce the damage on aspen and willow.
  
  Instead, she is a National Park Service veterinarian from Fort Collins who is helping lead a groundbreaking two-pronged study.
  ...
  Wild said the slight risk and stress to the animals is well worth it, considering the benefits of the projects.
  
  "It's very rare that you get an opportunity to do studies on numbers of elk like this in a protected area," she said.
