These are major big guys that ambled past our windows yesterday. Seven big bull elk came towards the house from the grove of walnut trees. They circled around through the lower field and came out on the other side of us. From here they headed up towards Muffin Mountain.
They know that we watch them, but for the most part just ignore us. The flash of the camera set them off.
In another month or 6 weeks they will lose their antlers. A few months after that we will begin to see the cows with their calves. What a treat!
So now I am wanting crabapple branches AND antlers!!!
ReplyDeleteOnce we find out that the bulls are shedding, we will take a walk with the dogs and see if we can find some. Dogs are pretty good at finding bones, antlers, etc. Next door neighbor is on the hunt for antlers, also.
