Elk (Cervus canadensis)
Each
fall, we are fortunate to watch the elk of the area
congregate for the fall rut. This past fall, we counted
over 200 female and calf elk, along with a few bulls as
they fed and wandered past the campgrounds. I have flown
over the campgrounds a number of times during the winter
and been able to observe a large number of them resting on
the property. These animals are slowly crossing our friend
and neighbour's property, which starts only meters away
from the front entrance of the campground.
