Elk in the Area!


You have to like wildlife cams. I didn't believe this when I first received it from Rich Pantalone, because the date on the picture says 2000. But it turns out the camera date wasn't set correctly and I was able to verify this is a recent sighting, two weeks ago, with tangible evidence.

Turns out Ron Andrus not only got this picture but more during one day. The elk,WHILE RON WATCHED, shook his head and graciously dropped an antler for Ron. After the Elk moved away Ron looked in the area some more and found the other shed. A complete set! I guess Ron is carrying them everywhere with him showing them off, I would too! Eventually I will catch up with him and get some first hand pictures.
This Elk's picture was taken in the Pigeon Hill/Leetonia Rd area. So keep your eyes open for an antlerless elk roaming the hills. Hopefully, it will be the first of many. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.

Paula - That's pretty cool. Just don't hit one with your truck! Where is Pigeon Hill along Leetonia Road?
