North Carolina's Elk Herd

Cataloochee Elk Herd from Wild Angle Media on Vimeo.

This short video was made of clips from my recent trip to the Cataloochee Valley near Asheville, North Carolina. Cataloochee is home to NC's elk population, which were extinct in NC until released into Haywood County several years ago. Now about 140 elk are in the wild here. Each year thousands of spectators gather at Cataloochee to see the rut. Listen to the legendary bugle!
