HEADING TO THE ASPEN STAND
Where do you head for a tasty treat? Elk head to young aspen trees (known as an aspen stand).
The young shoots are tender to eat and a favorite food of elk and white-tailed deer.
After an aspen stand is clearcut or there is a natural disturbance such as fire or wind, young aspens sprout up quickly from the root system of the harvested trees.
This dense stand of young aspen is where elk head for a tasty treat.
