Anderson Creek Sportsmen's Club: Elk caught grazing on club property

Elk caught grazing on club property

We took pictures of bull elk grazing right behind our camp on Saturday, June 25. One is a 6x7 bull and the other a 7x8.

There was a smaller one, but the bigger bulls would not let him near their feeding area.
