My wife is so relieved that "her" Bambi has shown up in South Carolina and he's OK, but tell him to come home; he's missed here in North Carolina.

GLOBAL WARMING.... GLOBAL WARMING..... GLOBAL WARMING!
The wolves, cougar, and black bear are not far behind.
I wonder how long it will take for someone to blame this on global warming ...?
It's a damn, dumb elk...big whoop!! get the damn thing out of there before he hurts someone.
300 years....who are they kidding. So who reported one in 1716??
Well, someone better shoot it quick before it escapes north! That’ll be something to brag about!

I remember when they introduced the first 40 member Elk herd up in Maggie Valley somewhere around 2001 or 2002. My sister and BIL were living in Waynesville. They drove over and saw them one time. I don’t know what the size of the herd is now.
Elk came from eastern Kentucky? Big Elk hunting spot in that part of the state.
That lone bull Elk won’t stay long in Slim Pickens County without some hootchie-mama elk.
A few weeks ago, I was on a highway driving through Central PA, just past the Allegheny - saw a HUGE elk just standing by the side of the road, eating some grass. Very impressive.

Elk outstanding on the highway are a deadly threat, especially at night or foggy conditions.
Oh, wait...
A new day is dawning. Even nearly extinct indigenous animals know it and are reemerging after 300 years of hiding.

Was that you or one of your relatives? You should swing over when you’re in our region.
Wonder if this elk is an escapee from someones private elk raising operation. It also wouldn’t surprise me if either the gang-greens or some wealthy hunters have plans to covertly release farm raised elk in an attempt start a ‘wild’ population there.
This was a very good TV show on the elk that suddenly appeared in eastern Oregon, apparently having come down from Canada. This was sent to me in February 2015. Very well done and fun watching, with a few warnings:

Hey... I’m way ahead of ya. I walked into our guest bedroom the other day and there was a black bear sitting on the futon. I asked him what was the big idea and he just shrugged his shoulders and said.... “Hey man...climate change. Get used to it.”
