This and the other elk don't have too long to wait when they will be back to feeding on green grass and not on the less nutritious foods like the pine needles. By then most of them will have survived the winter and it will time to start gaining weight they have lost. This was a mild winter, but longer and harsher the winter, the weaker they get and more prone to be taken out by the weather and or predators, even more so for the young and old. Already on the Bow Valley bottom and on the south facing lower slopes green vegetation is popping up, attracting the herbivores.
Until next moment,
