Description


Another shot from my day at Cataloochee Valley, in North Carolina. Thank you all for your wonderful comments and questions, on my post yesterday. Me and my son saw over 50 elk that day, one field we came across had 3 bulls there alone, which I am not sure how rare of a sight that is but it was quite incredible to me, they are amazing animals to watch, I found my self quietly observing them more than photographing them. My son and a friend of his and my daughter Erin went back the next day, they left before sunrise, and they only saw 6 elk the whole day, what a difference, they also saw a lot of white tail deer. And I had left a camera all ready battery charged and all in its bag by the door for my daughter and she forgot it, LOL I need to teach her how to be prepared. But they still had a fun outing. Thanks again for your support. Are any of you members at Redbubble, they sure messed that site up last night. Some very unhappy members there including me, they decided to completely change their whole lay out, imagine opening up Renderosity and finding it looking and being completely different that is what they did, I hope Renderosity never does the same, to me if you have a good thing you leave it alone. Well sorry had to rant a bit. Not a happy girl right now. haha To read more about this click here. thumb_2126361.jpg

This is another wonderful capture Lynell, and it must have been a real thrill to see so many elk at one time. Sounds like you timed it out perfect by going that day.

Gorgeous capture Lynell. Elk are a majestic animal and worthy of the kind of respect you are showing them here. The population numbers were dwindling a few years ago, but now they unfortunatly have recovered to the point many are starving to death, there is only so much food available and they are in competiton with too many deer, and moose. to make maters worse for them, one of their only natural predators the wolvess have decreased in numbers, so there is virtually no control on their numbers. So now these majestic animals are suffering a very miserable and prolonged drawn out death. The government considered increasing the hunting quotas, but due to city folks that got up in arms they cancelled the idea of increasing the numbers. i personally am not a hunter and never have been, but watching these animals starve to death seems far more cruel than allowing hunters to thin the herds so there is not so many competeing for limited food.
