Elk in Cherokee, NC yesterday via video Jack Mayo. In 2001 and 2002, the National Park Service reintroduced 52 elk into the Cataloochee area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park as part of an experimental project to determine if elk could survive and reproduce in the area. Some of these elk wandered outside the park’s boundaries and established ranges there. Recent studies estimate the herd is now close to 240 in Western North Carolina. #ncwx #wildlife #elk | Brad Panovich Meteorologist

The annual elk rut is underway in WNC, offering a truly unforgettable wildlife experience. 🍂 In Jackson County, NC, you're just a 20-minute scenic drive from seeing them in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Remember to give elk and other wildlife at least 150 feet of space—it’s the law and helps keep everyone safe. | North Carolina Mountain Towns of Cashiers, Cherokee, Dillsboro, and Sylva
