Elk and acorns?

[dtrkyman]

Anyone seeing elk key on acorns? I always find them in areas with oak brush but have not really noticed them pounding acorns like a whitetail or a bear!

Albeit there are no acorns in my western state but I have never heard of them keying in on them. They typically browse forbs first until they dry up and then transition to shrubs and grasses.

Yes, elk will feed on acorns. Have hear them plenty of times crunching on the acorns. Scrub oaks can be difficult to sneak through, though, and finding an opening for a shot is not always easy.
