Hopefully this has not been voiced yet, but what I found fascinating to watch was how a bedded herd of elk are positioned during their midday nap! I watched one good sized herd many years ago across a valley from me. There were several bulls roaming around , two big ones in the middle sparring, even saw one of em mounting a cow. I found this behavior unheard of from my discussions with other hunters. This was 2nd season, end of October that year , circa '92. The perimeter was stategically bedded cows all facing out! Later in the day when they took off , the lead cow had been bedded in the middle of the perimeter and took the lead up over the ridgeline!
Incredible to watch!
