Today on Wild Wednesday, I took these pictures of four Bull Elk near Cache Creek.
I see elk in this area along Highway 20 most of the time when passing through.
Seeing these beasts never gets old.
This was perfect for Wild Wednesday!
If you travel down Highway 20 to Clear Lake look for the elk around Cache Creek on the south side of the road.

Hi Tim, can you give an Aussie some ‘Elk101’. Are these 4 bulls together because they are still not successful in gaining a herd of females?

It’s pretty common to see the bulls together during the summer and into this time of year. They seem to like to herd together. Soon when the rut gets underway, they’ll be fighting with each other and peeing on their faces. They’ll gather up their harems. Yes, they pee on their own faces to show the other bulls and the cows how virile they are.

Thank you! Unfortunately, it was early morning light at about 300 yards, so the pictures weren’t as sharp as I would have liked.

And who would know better than you! Our fat ol’ California elk aren’t quite as impressive a Caitlin’s.

I know, right! And I even got to take those shots on Wednesday. That’s why the post was so late going up.

What fun. It never gets old seeing the wildlife. You just never know when the National Geographic moments are going to appear – or the National Lampoon ones either. The doe chasing a great blue heron in the lake and a coyote doing the same just for fun both times are among the top things I’ve seen. And then there were the courting turkeys and the coyote puppy litter playing in the back yard and on my front porch, too.
We had neighbors who raised elk for the antlers to sell as a supplement when we lived in our last house. A short lived experiment, but interesting while it lasted.

“National Geographic moment”, I like that. Definitely can’t have too many of those. Unless they critter in question burns up your truck! Raising elk by your neighbor must have been quite an undertaking.
