Cataloochee Valley

Rest in Peace, bull #67!

RIP Bull # 67!!! Sad news in the valley, just got word last night that bull # 67 is no longer with us. We can tell you that he was not poached, killed by a hunter or hit by a car but (we cannot share any more details at this time) This big majestic bull was 12 years old and has been the dominate bull in the valley for several years, his bugling and presence will be missed in the valley.

Standing proud in the valley! On this beautiful fall evening this big 7x7 elk bull was standing in the valley watching over his harem of cows. Photo shot in Cataloochee Valley, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
