Dee & I Just Got Back From A Weekend Trip To Elk County, Pennsylvania To Look For Wild Elk. We Spent All Day Saturday Looking And Spotting For Elk, Then By Late Afternoon Mother Nature Gave Us A Gift When I Spotted A Bull Elk Bedded Down In The Grass On A Hillside. Notice That The Elk Has Shed His Winter Coat And Is Also Growing New Velvet Covered Antlers. The Antlers Will Continue To Grow Untill Fall, Then The Bull Elk Will Rub All The Velvet Off His Antlers As The Rutting Season Begins. NATURE RULES!!!

I Believe These Shots Will Also Qualify For The New Bi-Weekley Challenge, Natural Light.
