I have seen a lot of elk around in the last few days. We are not seeing that many calves, but young cows seem to be in abundance. This morning I was walking down to change my water in the meadow and walked upon over 25+ head of elk before I really knew I was on them. My mind was on what I was going to do today and not looking for elk. A few spotted me before I saw them and moved off. There were elk laying down sleeping, calves nursing, cows still grazing and some watching me. I managed to get my camera out of my vest and was able to take a couple of pictures before they all moved off to the north. But there were not in a big hurray. Not running anyway. They are getting way to habituated!

This cow was on Powerline Point and was so busy eating she did not notice Zeph and I walking up on her. |

The other evening this bunch of young cows were all around the corrals. |

Look close and you can see the calf nursing his/her mother. |
