Elk in Velvet Season
posted in Announcements, Estes Park Scenery, wildlife |
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.
