In the Rocky Mountains, elk are often most concentrated, and observable, on the lower elevations of their traditional winter ranges. Life is generally easier there, for obvious reasons.
Still, it can be the time of dangerous weather and increased predation, making it the most vulnerable time for elk survival. Without a doubt, the heavy snows, and other trials, will come.
These elk look healthy and content, for now.
For when it comes to the fates, and ultimate survival, only the elk, and Mother Nature, know for sure.
