Yes Michel....very sad. He said it was a bad one. It's just so wrong to see them so close to the ways of a city. As thrilled as I am when I see one....immediately after, I feel sad.
Yup...there is quite a large population of elk on the Island. I think it was a rather old study....maybe 2002 or 2003, but it stated that there are approximately 3200 elk in British Columbia....3000 of which are on Vancouver Island.
