Title: Anyone see the video of a elk herd crossing the yakima river?
Post by: rosscrazyelk on November 19, 2016, 07:41:16 PM: A friend showed me this. Looks like a herd crossing the river. But in the article it talks about they do this every year when the snow hits hard.. only problem the snow hasn't hit hard yet.. my buddy says they are actually being pushed by helicopters..
Anyone know anything?

Post by: Killmore on November 20, 2016, 08:23:37 AM: I believe that's the herd that hangs out on the springwood ranch, it looked like they were heading in the wrong direction for a migration.

It's not, just the lady who took the video is obviously not a hunter and in her Facebook post she stated that it was "the migration."
