Elk Anyone?

I have a bunch of other things to catch up on that we have done the past few weeks, but this I think was one of the funnest, so I am posting it first. We went out to the Elk Preserve about an hour away from where we live this morning. They give tractor rides to feed the elk all winter long, but all the reservations for this whole season were already taken, so we decided to just go out and see them. This is their winter feeding program. They feed the elk everyday from December to March. The elk are so run down and tired from the rut that they really need the food. We were really pretty close to them, but it was fun to use the binoculars to see even closer. It was a group of cub scouts who had the reservation for today. There was a little bit of room and one of the leaders asked if we wanted to go with them. It really made the drive out there worth it because we got to be about 20 feet from them, and the kids loved helping feed them.
