Hey, maybe try watermelon, grapes and other fruit. We'll see if they like one better than another. Nice pics.

Nice pictures as always, Littlefoot.

Thanks Littlefoot, that was a great post. Looks like you got a nice setup on the trail camera. Now if you can only teach the bulls to drop their horns there for you, you'll have it made!

Elk don't eat Oranges. They stomp them and drink the O.J. Great post as usually LF!!! Keep it up.

If you have ever been to Africa, you have likely seen that they use oranges for feed for numerous big game animals, especially during a severe drought. I've seen eland, gemsbok, hartebeest, springbok and countless other animals eating oranges. They LOVE them.
I have never seen an elk eat oranges, before, however, but figured that was mostly because we don't grow very many oranges in Utah, or Wyoming! I have no doubt they will eat them if given the opportunity.
