With a few other pictures thrown in case of Eagle/Elk overload.

Shy Guy

No fooling around with this one

nor this one either

they just get meaner looking, I think it was because of a lack of Salmon or because a bunch of us tourist were interfering

On with the ELK.

2 Elk cow (mother and daughter ?)  one with radio collar.

Resting up,chewing cud and not a Bull in sight to add to his harem.

Here's a Bull but he's only interested in the grass. Not yey time for serious amore'

Young Bull watches as cow wanders away.

Next year maybe

more resting cows but look at extreme Right. Large set of antlers just visible over the rise.

that's them now on the left. He never made an appearance while we were there. Too bad. He looks to have been a trophy sized specimen

2 more cows with an immature bull
