Find a clearcut or some young reprod, plenty of natural feed there that the elk frequent. Will save you some time and effort, and allow the animals to stay in their natural patterns. ;)

grass clippings bad idea.

Alfalfa pellets also not a great idea (this type of feed needs to soak in water before it becomes palatable - I'm not sure how they would work)

Your best bet would be to pick up some certified weed free pressed bales of alfalfa. These are available at most feed stores. If you're going to take it into the woods its important that you get something certified weed free.

It might be bad for them in the same way that it can become compacted in a horses stomach.   :dunno:  Horses eat grass but clippings can cause big problems to their digestive tract.
