Did you know that Elk frequently hide their calves near buildings?
Populated areas, like our lodge, are the perfect natural deterrent for predators while the newborn elk gains strength in their legs. This time of year, it’s not uncommon to find a mother and baby elk on our property.
Last year, while we had a photographer out taking picture of the property, he had the privilege of catching these beautiful shots of the newborn calve and its mom.
While we love to be a shelter for mom and baby, we also have to keep in mind that the mom elk can be highly aggressive when protecting her calves. This time of year, it’s extra important to check blind corners and stay an extra healthy distance from any elk with babies.
