This herd stays on the CFB suffield base just outside of the Hat they seem pretty happy where their at. I was told by the base that the full size of the herd is over 5000. Sure impressive to see such a healthy looking herd. There were some huge bulls in the bunch. They decided to bed down on our prospect for the night the next day 2 sec of survey had to be reestablished cause the bunch figured the survey lath made pretty good scratchin posts.:d

Holy cow! I thought the herd of around 200 that lives by my place was big.

Last Thursday there were about 1200 we guessed along the hiway heading out of Calgary near the Cochrane turn off. I've never seen that many Elk, let alone that many near Calgary.

Last Easter the entire area where they were was a 10 mile long grass fire. Must have been some fresh stuff sprouting there.

Big heard out at Mountaineer Lodge, at least a thousand last time I was out there. Migrate there from the park.

Wow !! Do they need a hand culling the herd ?? BBQ'd elk steaks. Yum yum !!

There are some incredible bulls on the Block. They have it figured out though, and don't leave. I've seen moose out there too, but not as often.

They do leave the base. There have been some pretty large bulls bagged on the north end of the block. I will see if i can track down some old pics.

The largest herd I have seen was by Jackson Hole Wyoming..where they have the Rocky Mountain Elk foundation museum. When I was there 6 years ago the guy told me on any given day there was between 8-10 thousand head of elk in that one field...You could go on a sleigh ride for 10 bucks and feed them hay...wish I had a camera with me...craziest thing I every seen!

The sled gods have granted your wish. We will be hooking up at the Husky just west Cal on Thursday morning and we will be heading out to Donald and heading into retrieve the 4 sleds at Hope Cr. Do that Thurs then figure where we ride on Fri. Probably stay at the Golden Rim. The more the merrier for this one cause I'm sure I could come close to a cardiac good thing everyone going has CPR, Might need to get someone to bring the little blue shock me box that or a set of jumper cables.:d We are looking for 20 peeps and I think your the 10th.
