Potential functions are a physical science concept often used in modelling the motion of particles and planets. In the work of this paper potential function based models are considered for the movement of free-ranging elk in a large, fenced ex- perimental forest. Equations of motion are set down and the parameters involved are estimated nonparametrically. The question of whether a potential function is plausible for describing the elk motion is considered. The conclusion is that it is not possible to reject this hypothesis for the data set and estimates considered.
