One of the Bull Elks in Catalooche Valley North Carolina. Taken around 5pm. Cloned out ear tag and collar that all the Elk have to wear because they are part of a reintroduction program into the area. Elk used to be abundant in the area, over the years they were hunted out so now the National Park services has a program to reintroduce the elk into the area.

Majestic! I saw one there the 1st yr re-intro'd & my hubby thought I was seeing things until Ranger at Welcome Center told him of re-into program. It wasn't nearly as big as your pix show. Great shots! #522990

Thanks Deborah! I go there often, the best time to see them is in the evenings from 6pm on. Rutting season has started and I need to go back up and get more pics.
