Elk

In the September middle to the end, the.

They start going to direct the females going to estridge.

So the Elks are, you know, staking their grind.

Don't blow it directly into

the microphone.

A deer walking parallel to you on a trail sounds exactly like a person.

Elk, where they've been brought back, bugle in a way that'll stop your heart if you don't know what it is.

And the mountains scramble distance and direction so badly that a sound from one hollow over can seem to come from your own backyard.

None of that is proof of anything.

The park was made out of settled land in the nineteen thirties, and the settlers were bought out or forced out, and their home places are still up there.

Chimneys standing alone in the woods, rock walls running off into the laurel, cemeteries on hilltops that descendants still hike in to decorate, old logging railroad grades, the rails long gone, that make the best walking in the park if you know where they are.

Whole communities, Cataloochee and Elkmont and Smokemont and the Sugarlands, that emptied out and grew up.

It's the most visited national park in the country.

We're going to do this NFL recap, and then we're supposed to do this Mount Rushmore, me, Jobin, Ryland, Larson, and Spencer.

Okay? I'm going to do this Mount Rushmore.

We'll put it in after that, and then after that point, we'll get into the Edmonton Elks.

I just want to try and keep it strictly football today.

Yeah, of

course.

We can get into the Edmonton Elks coming up this week.

If you don't know anything about the Edmonton Elks, that's fine.

Unktomi and the Elk.

It was midsummer, and the Elk people were feasting in great numbers upon the slopes of the mountain.

Sleek, fat, and handsome, they browsed hither and thither off the juicy saplings and rich grass, drank their fill from the clear mountain streams, and lay down to rest at their ease in the green shade through the heat of the day.

Unktomi, who had been traveling far and was hungry and footsore, looked upon them with envy.

"Ah," said he to himself, "that is the life for me.

Surely these are the happiest people on earth, for they have all things in abundance and are so fleet of foot that they need fear no danger." Accordingly, he hid his bow and quiver full of arrows in a hollow tree, with all of his clothing and other weapons, so that he might appear quite naked and harmless before the timid Elk people.

They saw that he was unarmed, and they stood still as he approached.

That's so funny.

You're leaving for Elk here soon.

What's the rest of your season look like? What else do you have lined

up? I'm planning on going down to Maryland when I get back from there.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's such a smart idea.

Elk hunting and stuff, you can get really steep.

So I have it if I need it, if I remember to look at it.

Yeah.

They score him.

The Elks green score was a 394.

I don't know what that means.

It's a lot bigger than a whitetail, I'll tell you that.

And that was one of the better sports stations in the country.

It did not have any radio rights to Oilers and Elk and other sports properties.

So they could speak honestly and from the heart, criticize without necessarily having to get a call from Glenn Sather.

I got a call from Glenn Sather.
