Look what was playing around in my back yard! Re-introduced into the Smoky's a few years back the Elk are really doing well. Waiting patiently for a hunting season !!!!!!!!!!

Wow that has to be a great sight right there

Looks like the middle one has a tracking collar on it. Does your DNR release Elk? Like Kentucky did a few years back?

CVG Ohio

They are free roaming in the park, it's just a matter of time before we'll be able to hunt em. I'm 56.... looking forward to my 60th..... then BAM!

Looks like some future hamburgers and roast lurking about :)

Nice beard btw - You look like you could be one of those Duck guys!

The first and second has a tracking c

Here in Va, with the exception of a few counties, they can be taken during any deer season.

Very nice... :)

Both the cows have collars.

There are a few elk in VA. I have a buddy that grew up on his Grandparents farm over in Smyth County. A couple of years back one of their neighbors popped a spike bull in one of the upper hay meadows during the rifle season. Not a huge bull by my native CO standards, but any elk in VA is grounds for excitement.

What part of NC are they at?
I also am looking forward for a season to open.
I know it's NC mountains, I just curious as to what part.

Thank You.
