We have several feed sites around here for the elk during the winter to keep them off the ranchers haystacks. Went out to one today with the family to show them some elk and take a few pictures. I counted about 165 elk there today. Found a couple of branch antler bulls that will be nice if they survive a few more years. And also found two very funky little bulls....one with an antler growing out of its forehead like a unicorn and the other side is normal. And the other only has one horn and looks like a trident! It's pretty fun being able to take a 30 minute drive and be able to sit and watch elk from about 200 yards away without them caring you're there.

Very nice, my dad and I use to fish in a little lake not far from there. Its lovely country, and always great to see elk pictures. :grin: :grin:
 
Fascinating pictures. Some antler formation leaves one shaking his/her head.
 
Thanks for posting those. My wife and I haven't taken our winter drive to go see the elk yet... Need to get on that.
