Bull elk takes heat at Hanford
BIG GAME -- We don't think of elk as being creatures game for hot weather, but the elk enjoying the sanctuary of the near-desert conditions on the Handford Nuclear Reservation are doing just fine, thank you.
Erika Holmes, who works at the Hanford Site, snapped this photo of a bull and his harem last week.
The bull had at least 23 cows in his harem in sight of salmon anglers fishing the Hanford Reach of the Columbia, she said.
