two weeks ago someone told me they couldnt believe there eyes when they saw an elk near lougheed hwy, I think by the planet ice arena in maple ridge area. Didnt know it got hit, people think it came from upper pitt

A bull elk was spotted by the old jackson farm in albion by somebody I know about 3 weeks ago he is a hunter and spotted it on 3 different occassions, I didn't say anything about it until I was reading this thread.
I know they have put elk in the back side of the pitt quite a while ago
As a crow flys the pitt is not that far away, I hope there more where this one come from and if one was hit I surely hope we have no more mishaps like this in the future. This elk was running around with a group of deer when he was spotted and was a mature bull, I only live a few kilo away I hope I can see some in my area one day or hear that bugle.

i agree with you rock i hope there are not too many mishaps like this and that this transplanted herd prospers in this area.On a positive note i've heard that this herd is starting to breed.

there is also a heard planted up the other end of stave lake.its to bad that the elk was hit, sure be nice to see them running around the valley.

jeeze thought it had to be a mistake:oops: The elk were moved in to the upper Pitt Feb this year any body know when Stave was seeded? Really hate to hear this happened.Looking forward to leh opportunity in the next 5-10 years.

I saw it just off the Lougheed between Bruces market and the fair grounds on Nov 11 (no camera). It was 4pt on one side and the other was either broken or deformed. It is a shame if he is dead now. Makes you wonder if the other transplants are roaming as well. I had left a message for the c.o. about my sighting but nobody called me back. Either they had a few calls already or they were just not concerned about it.

Does anyone know how many elk where transplanted?

[xcaribooer]

I think the number was around 30
