got this in an email
This guy from LakeCowichan was fishing this week on the Cowichan river outside of Skutz falls. It was his first ever fly-fishing venture. A crowd gathered on the gravel road to take pictures, including a guy from the gazette.

Whoaa!!....How cool is that, go fly-fishing and catch a bull Elk.



I seriously doubt this nit wit knows how dangerous this can be.

I'm calling Photo shopped... look at the lighting and scale/size differences a bull Elk is much bigger then a human.

Not to mention having lived in that area for 6 years there is no way those Elk will let you get that close to them, nor would you want to be.

The first time i saw those photos was last fall and the location was Colorado.

Lucky...

I figured it was fake as soon as I saw it. Looks like the water isn't even flowing if you look at the elks feet

 

[Van Isle]

Fake. For all kinds of reasons

Pretty greened up for this time of year..........

And Rosie bulls that big will be crowned and twisted.....

It is another BS picture on the net.

Kinda strange a bull elk would have a full rack with no velvet in early April. Plus there all wading in a area marked no tresspassing. Neither the fisherman or elk can read I guess.

Sadly fake. Getting that close to them isn't too hard though. You just need an apple!

elk often carry horns well into april before dropping them.
