Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Elk Behavior

This resident herd of elk is in my pasture almost every night and I've watched them for years but I have never been able to pick out "Lead Cow" out of the bunch, and if I did I dont know how I would know its the same one from day to day. That plus some days theres up to 150 head and other days theres 25-30. This pic was a few evenings ago and they were playing king of the mountain on a pile of dirt I dug out of my pond when it was dry earlier this year. I also got some nice video of some calves chasing each other off the top of the pile but didnt figure a way to attach it to a post.
