Elk in Velvet Season

grazing in the front yard each day this week

Elk are grazing in the front yard each day this week, and in town. Best viewing is in town at the golf course. The golf course is a favorite watering hole and grazing location for tired hungry elk.

The in velvet refers to the new antlers the elk are growing. The antlers are covered with a velvet-like covering until the antlers have taken full form.
