Elk travel distance?

[nclonghunter]

What is the greatest distance that you know elk have traveled from water or food to bedding?


I have seen them travel nearly 3 miles from a mountain bedding area to low river bottom (creek) and back before daylight. They can cover a long distance over night.

In our area they normally move about 1-2miles per day.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but they are capable of extremes.
