Elk in Pennsylvania, my third ever post
Dec 18, 2020 23:00:00 #
I've been wanting to photograph the wild elk herd in Pennsylvania for some time now. Weather called for 5-8 inches of snow, so the next morning I drove over 2 hours to north central PA. When I arrived, everything seemed abandoned. Well, the projected 5-8 inches turned into 26 inches. With that much snow, I figured the elk would be bedded down in the deep forest. It took some time, but I finally found a few bulls and later a mixed herd of cows and mostly young males. Here are some of the shots from the day.

Stop posting. You're making us all look bad. The snow really adds a unigue look for your images. Show us more.

Were you able to download the images OK? Someone suggested that I drop the image size. I’ll post a few more.
