Off-topic stuff…

Getting a thread started with really off-topic posts.

First up. We have two herds of elk that pass through every day or two.

The smaller herd of mostly younger bulls wandered through our back yard a few minutes ago.

We have no problem with some off-topic stuff. Let's just make sure it isn't offensive or could be political in any way. We get enough of that elsewhere and we would rather this be a friendly place to visit. Thanks!

Totally.

I’ll keep the nature theme going. My son found a nearby lake, only about 20 minutes from the house. Fishing, hiking, campground with spaces and primitive camping spaces as well. They have a lot of trails and some of them aren’t very long so a fun thing that can be done just for an hour or two.

That is quite a herd. Does this happen on a regular basis?

Have you named them?

Our place is in their daily migration path. That path is about 1-2 miles wide. Usually we see them a few times a week. There are two herds. The main herd with a main bull and then this, smaller herd with many bulls and a few cows and calves.

No. That’s not my sort of habit.

Very cool, that’s pretty amazing. I would be in heaven! That would never get old for me.

It never does. We have had to fence in our young trees to protect them, but it’s totally worth it. Even the being wakened by their bugling at 0300 just outside our bedroom window.

Do you see them a lot more at a certain time of the year?

We see them throughout the year, but they tend to be around more often when there’s water and fresh, green food for grazing. There’s a small “creek” nearby and they make use of it when it’s flowing. When the snows come, they can’t find much food for a few days after, so we tend not to see them for a week or two after a large snow.

Keeping herd mentality and nature theme alive, here we have the North Atlantic Water Elk taking their daily feeding trek through the tuna grounds. Some days you can see them from the beach, others days they are 30 miles off the coast. They make incredible bugling sounds as well and have absolutely terrible breath, if you are downwind.
