I may have to start walking the river beds for my next elk hunt. It seems more than any other animal, that elk will just pop up in the most non-traditional spot if that makes any sense. I’ve heard they are quite good swimmers…which is odd because you’d think those cloven hooves wouldn’t do much for pushing water. But then you think about a caribou…well, they sure don’t have a problem with swimming! Awesome photos, both of them.
