So, just went with my wife to Cherokee, North Carolina about 2 weeks ago for a vacation. First one Ive taken and traveled on in some time. Was amazed at the elk so close to roads and the visitor center there in the Great Smokies National Park. I felt like I was in Wyoming or Utah or something. LOL. My first time going to the Smokies. The big guy first wasn't getting to close. The second image is a younger smaller male who followed the ladies where ever they went and it meant feet from humans at times. Pretty cool to see and watch.

Nikon D500
Nikkor 200-500mm @ f/5.6
