Cataloochee Elk

Shot these in November in Cataloochee Valley, GSMNP. In the interest of full discloser, I PS out the collar and ear tag.

Man those are awesome. I don't blame you one bit for PS'ing out the tags and collars. It is such a joy to know that they are doing all they are to re-establish the Elk into the area.

I heard that there was some idiot that shot one of the larger bulls up there. I do believe they caught the guy that did it. I sure hope so and I hope they FRY his butt for it too! It really ticks me off that someone would do that.

Great shot Sandy!

Excellent series Sandy. Very impressive animal, thanks for sharing.

Neat shots Sandy. I would have asked about the ear tags and jewelry. The second one makes me wish you had a sound recorder with you.

very nice...I didn't see these before I posted my shots from there. You got some wonderful captures.
