I've got to say though that the Elk stole the show here. I'm with you on not getting to close. It amazes me how (dumb) people are getting that close to wild animals. I've seen videos where people are being charged by Elk while trying to get photos. Not something I would care to try.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-77917639667336195992014-09-28T19:02:29.712-04:002014-09-28T19:02:29.712-04:00ha ha...laid back elk
