Elk in the Columbia River
«

My wife saw this picture on Facebook. All I know about it is what the photographer posted:
"Roosevelt Elk attempting to cross the Columbia River today with the Astoria–Megler Bridge in background"
Did anybody else see them?

Looks like a couple legal bulls survived hunting season.

Those elk are lucky they weren't up in the Sound. The Squaxins would have shot them with a .22 and taken an oar to their heads.

Would you use a grim reefer and a coyote flasher trolling, or is snagging legal?

I saw this on FB as well along with all the clueless remarks from the tree huggers. I have seen elk crossing the Skagit river several times, but not near the swim.

Look's like the picture was taken from a boat too. I would hope they herded them back to the Wa. side where there's timber. No place to go in Astoria other than hang out in town.

Seems to me they are wading. Looking for a little brackish water to help treat their foot rot

Maybe something chased them out there...
Not unheard of, they swim the straits to Canada or even the San Juans occasionally. In Alaska, they swim out to remote islands.
