Elk getting ready to lay down Cataloochee Cove - GSMNP

Was not sure what this elk was doing at first. After he scratched around with his antlers a little bit then he laid down in that spot. Guess he was getting his bed ready.






This was as we were leaving the cove. I will be posting more photos from this area in the next several days. There were 3 elk bulls in this small fenced in area as we left. I heard a vistor ask the Ranger how they kept them in the fence. The ranger told them they had just been in the fence about 10 minutes. The fence was not totally enclosed, but in some of the other photos I am going to post you can see the fence in the background.
