Elk and Traffic

Just wait a minute and let them pass. Are you in such a hurry that you have to rush past these beast and split up families?

2 hours ago, a large heard of female elk and their young crossed the road in front of the shop. On lookers and anxious traffic prevented one very young elk not to make it across with the heard. Then, a sea of cars proceeded to follow the heard back into the neighborhood pushing the heard from this youngster further and further apart.
10 minutes later, that young elk was still on my side of the street, and the heard was long gone into the properties beyond.
Now, 2 hours later, a female Elk has come back looking for her young. She's literally screaming back her behind my shop for the missing young.
Last I saw, the young elk was headed toward the marina down 34.


SWEET! As I type that last sentence, I now see the momma and little one headed across the street for the heard.

I realize these guys are experts at finding one another, but traffic on 34 is hairy. Lets not make it harder.

(I just don't want to have to go out there and drag a dead baby elk off the road.)
