| There are plenty of Elk in Yellowstone. It is easy to be able to see elk all over the park. The bull elk, or male; that's the one with the horns, are not as plentiful in the park. They usually stay off by themselves. I have notices over the last few years that there doesn't seem to be as many calves born. Some people say that the wolves are moving in and killing them. I don't know! But I know I haven't seen as many lately. The places where I have seen the most large bull elk is around Canyon, going towards Artist Point, and from Gibbon Falls to Norris area. Also in the evening around the Madison area going to West Yellowstone. Mammoth has a nice herd that hang around the hotel area. In the late afternoon seems the best time to see the large elk. Well, sit back and enjoy the ride....... |

| This is my favorite elk photo. Taken by the Madison River going towards West Yellowstone, July 1988, just as the fires were starting. I had to run to keep up with him to get this good shot. |

| Many people have liked this photo because of the way the 3 bull elk are positioned in the picture. Norris area, Summer 1989. Beautiful colors. |

| By Norris, Sept. 2000. This elk was bugling. They call their mate and it sounds like a bugle. They do this starting in Sept--Oct. |

| Same elk. See him bugling. If you look really close you can see his breath. beautiful animal.... |
 |
| Spring is a nice time to see the beauty of the elk starting with new antlers, and the new grass and flowers growing. Going towards the Canyon area. |
