And yet still more elk photos

I went out and pulled the cards from a couple of cameras. The elk had already pulled the aux. power cords out of the cameras and they were running on the internal batteries. Sometimes they bite the cord in two and that shuts the camera off and I lose the internal memory, so I don't mind if they just unplug them. They have a habit of licking and or breathing on the lens which makes for some pretty blurry shots. I have a few hundred to erase for the last couple of days. They took a total of about 2500 self portraits between the two cameras. Here are a few of the less "congested" photos:

They like that salt!

Still hanging around!

I just took these when we took the dog for a walk.

We counted at least 45.

They were pretty far away, these were all taken with a 400mm lens and no tripod. (which why they aren't the sharpest) They were a little shy and even with us so far away they were nervous. Somebody must have been shooting at them recently. Normally they don't pay much overt attention to us at that distance.
