Elk Nap Great Smoky Mountains National Park

A mellow clip of four elk (a mother and her three calves) I watched taking a nap in the Great Smoky Mountains this past October. What strikes me most about this session was the utter silence except for the slight rustling caused by the wind. It's so rare to have silence these days even in the national parks.

Cute Elk Calf Enjoying Breakfast in the Great Smoky Mountains

We were fortunate to spend some quality time with a mother Elk and her three calves one morning earlier this week. I focused on one of three Elk calves enjoying breakfast. Remote roadside forage next to heavy forest cover is one of their favorite hangouts. Sequestration and the closure of the prime Elk area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has led to much less "people pressure" on the animal life, making for excellent viewing.

Bull Elk Great Smoky Mountains

Beautiful Bull Elk, mother and calf near a closed area of the remote part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "Sequestration", and few if any people has probably resulted in some unique viewing opportunities. Not sure if this is the full extent of his family. As big as he is he is still not the top dog in these parts! Filmed in a steady rain.
