Crowds of visitors had congregated on the eastern shore of the lake and were all pointing their cameras at something in the woods.

Meanwhile, smaller tule elk are taking part in their own rut on Point Reyes National Seashore and in several other areas. Tule elk weigh about 500 pounds, and their sharp heavy antlers can be particularly dangerous at this time. Roosevelt and Rocky Mountain elk can weigh up to 1,000 pounds, posing an even greater risk.While there have been no incidents so far this fall at Rocky Mountain, that isn\u2019t always the case, and people have been severely injured in Yellowstone. Visitors should give elk even more space in the fall than usual, even from inside a vehicle. Park staff suggest keeping 75 yards, or the length of two school buses, away from elk.
