This elk is part of the reintroduced population in Smoky mountains national park. Its a small herd they introduced and they have a few biologists that are pretty much constantly monitoring the elks activities. 90% of the elk here are tagged like that. Its great for study purposes but not so great for photography.

and yeah, 100-400 on a 50d.
