Bull Elk swimming on Lake CDA
« on: February 15, 2008, 06:55:31 AM »
I received these pictures via email from my brother-in-law. Looking at the boundary and rock formation it definitely looks like lake CDA.  Elk went for a long swim. Hope the pictures show up")

Yeah I saw this awhile back on MM ... I asked them what the story was on it and no one seemed to know??? But one thing is for sure, He's a big bugger! Very impressive.

Pretty funny, just got those last week claiming they were from a lake in southern Oregon.

One thing I can guarantee is they're not from Lake Powell.  Not a tree within miles of Lake Powell.

My first thought was that was seawater...  The driftwood is a dead giveaway.  I would guess the Vancouver Island guess if it were me.  I'd like to think it's a rosey but it's a huge one if it is...  also very swept back... 

I see bears crossing the water ways up there on Vancouver Island but not elk.

Fresh water, no barnacles or other tell tale rock critters.  Driftwood can be found in any body of water.  Also no tiny foam bubbles.
