I haven't been around elk much but I've spent extended time near moose. they are something else... about as unpredictable as you could be. Just don't get in between the little ones and the mothers.
One thing I do know... Grizzles are VERY intelligent.
We get the same moose for many years in a row. The one pictured is a mom and her three year old. Two years ago she, and her baby calf, ate an entire five foot plant in about ten minutes.
At times they will stay a couple days, I clear the shrubberies periodically every couple years and two year old shrubs make fine eating, better than marijuana for daily nourishment.
Without any Elk to compare my bias tends towards Moose.
