Safety in Numbers

As I was coming down the main entrance street to this housing area, I saw this group of elk crossing the street together.  There may be safety in numbers from predators, but not necessarily from cars.  On my return trip, I saw that one adult female had a fatal encounter with a car.  The wildlife folks were there with their flatbed trailer and it took 4 men to lift her onto it.  It is my understanding that, in cases like this, the meat will be donated to a food pantry or some other charitable organization.
