Elk enjoy buckwheat! Doesn't look like this batch is going to have the chance to reseed:

It looks like he has already eaten most/all of the deer food in the second picture and he sure isn't far behind on your buckwheat. Interesting!

considering the size difference - a bet an elk puts a hell of a hurting on a foodplot!

From what i have seen around here. If there are elk in a food plot there arent deer at the same time.

They do. Fortunate it looks like just lone old bull on the property.

By August they will all congregate further north,where the bigger food sources can support the herd during mating season.

Beautiful animals, and amazing to see in person... but yes, I don't want more than a few around!

They seem to get along fine here. In past years I have seen elk and deer munching away together in harmony.

One little button buck even tried to get a bull to play with him... ran like a greyhound to momma when the bull get fed up!
