Elk sparring in the river

Unread postby sunset samurai » Mon Sep 14, 2015 12:55 pm

As I was fishing the trophy trout water in Cherokee NC the other Saturday I was blessed to encounter something awesome. As I saw a bull elk standing in the water with a couple more in the woods approaching I took a seat on a log to enjoy it. As the second and third bulls drank their tempers began to flare and I was treated with a fantastic sparring match in the middle of the river, thought you guys might enjoy the pic but my phones not complying with photobucket, hopefully I can get Justin85 to upload it for me.

What an awesome sight that would be and a great memory! You seem to be having some great days lately.
