Jackson-Frazier Wetlands Roosevelt Elk Bull Unicorn
This guy gets his name because his antlers are a bit unusual in that the left appears normal size whilst his right one is shorter with a little twist, flattened end. Here he is, on the left, next Atlas. Then, this Sideview gives a clearer picture of the right antler's shape And from the backside...
Roosevelt Elk Bull Atlas
I gave Atlas his name because his antlers are the widest and he seems to be the largest and most alert of the herd. I just noticed, too, his antlers have bilateral secondary points on them. He appears to be "the one most likely watching".

Roosevelt Elk at Jackson-Frazier Wetlands
Twice I have captured pictures of the small, seven member strong, Roosevelt Elk at Jackson-Frazier Wetlands in the early evening this May 2023. The first encounter was April 12th, note brighter setting. The second was May 20, note cloudy day and darker. I'll attempt to identify each by antler or coloring.
