Roosevelt Elk Calf found along the Warrenton-Astoria Highway near a 55 mph sign. During fall roosevelt elk graze and rut in the lowlands along the coast. This calf had been hit while crossing the Warrenton-Astoria Highway and within eyesight of a herd of elk at least 20 strong. I found her in a thicket of blackberries. Her body had been dragged from the road. She still had her spots.
