Elk Interactions at Stores in Estes Park

This beef jerky-loving elk seems as if she may love to shop local. Numerous reports of an elk looking exactly like this one have been on social media over the past few days.

On July 5, Cliffhanger Used Books posted a photo of an elk in the bookshop.

The next day, Estes Park Brewery shows the familiar elk inside the brewery. Estes Park Brewery's Facebook page poked fun at the situation saying "the obstacles that occur when bottling and brewing beer".

The curious elk does not seem to be bothered by humans and modern civilization based on all these recent interactions. As a friendly reminder, you should never approach an elk, no matter what time of year. They are wild animals that are very large, powerful, and can be very dangerous.
