Panicked elk, a cow and two calves, at approaching truck. People often simply do not slow down for migrating elk. These are often 1,000 pound animals that will absolutely destroy a car if hit, if not kill the driver. This driver slowed down to a creep and slipped by, the next flew by at about 60. #3902

Two Boxley Beasts Migrating Up the Mountain
Taken as two boxley trophy elk migrated up to their bedding area on top of the mountain. Usually they are up and gone before 8am, so these shots are rare and difficult to get.
