Thank you, but no, not Tule Elk. Tule Elk are the ones that hang out along the western edge of the Sierra Nevada range and down into the Central Valleys of California.
Wow!!! That's quite a harem the big guy has in the last pic.
A valued 6 pointer for sure. I used to live near Evergreen, Colorado; Conifer to be exact. I often saw these fellows so often that I rarely pulled out a camera. Now living in Florida, this site is more often rare than they are available. I wish I had those shots to look back on. Bravo! and keep them coming.
I used to like driving through Evergreen and the front lawns on homes fill of Elk. Ever now and then we would see or hear from someone complaining about the elks. I would have been more inclined to feed them rather than complain about them. I had a nice big salt lick in my back yard in Conifer. We lived in Kings Valley then. I have lived in many houses in many cities in many towns and as yet, I still miss Conifer the most. When I time comes, I plan a cremation here in Florida then a transfer to Central City where I was active in the Masonic Lodge there. The best, Ted
