Beautiful Bull Elk by Fly Fisherman

Occurred on September 14, 2019 / Cherokee, North Carolina, USA

Info from Licensor: "I went to the smoky mountains on my dad's birthday with my brother to see the elk since they have reintroduced them on the east coast. We stopped by the Oconaluftee visitor center and saw the cow heard in the field with the bull elk nearby. Once they went into the woods, we followed him up the road and got out near the river. A local photographer was there and said we should come down into the river right about there, so we waited patiently. It was worth the wait because he came down and put on a show for us. The most peaceful, unreal animal experience I have ever had."
