Wildlife : Roosevelt elk are sometimes known as Olympic elk and they are the largest of the big game animals. A mature bull may weigh as much as 1,000 pounds or even more, but on the average they will weigh much less. Both male and female elk have a dark-colored neck mane. Antlers of the males are heavy, and tend to rise straighter and with much less spread than antlers of the Rocky Mountain elk. Feeding occurs just after daylight and again in the early evening. When food becomes scarce, the elk herd must spend more time in search of it and often end up in our yard. Currently a heard of 15 live in our area and one of 80 or more live and gather on an old farm site a few miles from where we live.
