9/10/12 Elk Herd Map

Elk were scattered across Boxley Valley this morning. The first rutting herd that was in the south end has moved to the Upper Wilderness for a day or two (further south). This is a pretty standard field rotation for the south end -- I expect them back before the weekend if not in a day or so.

As noted on the map below, two other normal sized herds were evident. One is up by Ponca, and a second by the 43/21 Intersection. A third loosely organized herd was in the first field just south of the elk pullout. There were enough animals in that group to note, but it did not seem very organized.

There were scattered elk elsewhere.  Be on the lookout for elk feeding on roadsides everywhere in Boxley Valley.
