That elk has been a problem all fall. Unfortunately people have been feeding it for sometime, and the animal is always found in that place begging for food. They had to put that elk down yesterday.
No matter how many signs the park service puts out, everywhere you go, they are staring you in the face: DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS; people do it anyway. Too bad, it's not like we're neck deep in elk around here.
That guy is a pretty goofy fella.
