Elk Herds

We have been in and out Yellowstone for the last 3 weeks. We have probably seen more elk than any other year, and we are here about the same time each year. Three weeks ago there were big herds of them between the west gate and Madison along with bison that had just been hazed back into the park from the Hebgen Lake area. Last week when we were in several times they have moved on in to the interior of the park. Of course I have never taken a head count. Monday a week ago it took us an hour and half to go the 12 miles between Norris and Canyon as the bison were moving towards Canyon. Just loved it as they like to follow the lane separation lines.
