On Sunday, we took a drive up to Mammoth Hot Springs to see the Elk. It is their mating season and the big bulls are in the rutt, and they all come right down into the town and take over! They are everywhere and it is so interesting to see, as well as the hot springs themselves!

There are signs all over and Park Rangers abundantly, to make sure you don't get too close to the Elk.
How would you like this bull's harem in your back yard?
This guy was about 10 feet from the road, and no Park Rangers around!
They are on the roads, in the parks, near the homes, just everywhere!
These were on the front sidewalk of the Elementary School...and yes, the droppings you see are also EVERYWHERE in the town...it is covered in poop!

Holy Cow!!!! Or should I say Holy Elk!!!
Dad says, "Where are they at hunting season?"
Quite a variety of herds. I don't know how people get around in town with all those wild animals hanging around.
