Elk at Slippery Ann on the CMR Wildlife refuge in Montana. I have not been back to Slippery Ann since the fall of 2006. This was a real treat for me. My wife, 'Viki,' whom I married 8+ years ago had never been to Slippery Ann before this trip. Was able to add a few descriptions to some of the photo's.

This guy was right off the road when we saw him. Had a small herd and seemed to be content. We will call him Right guy at this point. You will understand what I mean as you scroll down the photo's.
I changed locations for more photos and this is the first time I got a photo of Left guy, He and Right Guy, each had a herd and were trying to rob each other. It seems they had close to the same count of cows in their respective herd.
Wishful 5 point.
This is a 5 point wanna be boy in learning.
This is the young 5 point bull who just hung around wishing.
The Missouri river flows close to this location and it had flooded over it's banks so as the elk walked through the saplings you could hear the water sloshing as they walked. In fact farther down the road from this point it had washed over the road. Where I was taking these photo's from the road was above this bottom and had not been hurt by the over flow.
