We Saw Elk for the First Time Near Klamath, California

This beautiful elk with the velvet buttons on his antlers just stood there eating and watching us while we watched him. He showed no fear of humans whatsoever. We were only a few feet off the narrow Highway 101 and he was eating with a young one nearby about twenty feet from the road. There was a herd behind him that seemed oblivious to our presence, but the young calf got curious and wanted to walk towards us so we drove away. We didn't want to see him come out onto the highway. There was a lot of traffic yesterday.
Enjoy one of our rare experiences. Share the photo but please give credit to Photo Gent with a link to our website. Thanks. See you somewhere down the highway on an adventure unknown to us today!
