Nothing compared to the elk boneyard due to Rokslide

A few years ago we found where a herd of cattle ran off a cliff. A lot older than that event, but chilling nonetheless. A huge prairie that ended in a point that dropped off 20-30 feet. A pile of them. Probably spooked by a storm.

Imagining how long it took some of them to die was the worst part. It is very remote and I doubt anyone knew I had happened right away.

Next time someone comes around “Not asking for your honey holes, but just a good place to start,” I’m sending it them GPS coordinates to this spot

Not elk but a number of years ago I found a draw with the bones of 30 plus beef. Each with bullet hole in the head.

Turns out that cows were on pasture for summer and chose not come out with the snow. When they found them the snow was too deep to save them so they went in by snowcat and shot them.

That looks more like where DOT drops roadkill over the bank.

I remember reading about this didn’t it kill something like over 100 deer?

Yep 120+
One buck found missing his left antler had 101" on tje right side. Think most of these deer summer in Yosemite and have a shot at growing pretty big
