Impressive documentation of a really important issue. The Tule elk are a defining part of Point Reyes and your film brilliantly addresses the challenges and solutions to rebuilding their population. Well done!
Excellent, Grayson! Great visuals, excellent commentatry, your editing was spot on, and your use of music to reinforce the tone of the scenes was terrific. Thanks for your advocacy on behalf of the tule elk and a more natural Point Reyes.
Thank you for the excellent video! I've been following this issue for years and have participated in several protests at the dairy ranches. According to Ken Bouley "The tide is turning" however there is no current timeline for taking down this destructive fence which has cost the lives of hundreds of Tule elk. I applaud all of the efforts of the animal rights activists and look forward to the McClure herd roaming free and increasing their population. The ranchers have had their day.
The herds used to be fully enclosed and some are still today. When droughts come those elk that are fenced in sometimes don’t have enough water in the area that they have. Compared to they used to roam free and naturally find water during droughts.
Wait until the wolf packs find them. We have packs in Shasta and 2 others. Kiss those elk good bye. With our predator hunting for wolf, lions and bobcat illegal and I’m sure bears eventually they will destroy the elk beyond what your reporting on.
No offense, but that statement has a lot of problems. First of all, there are no wolves anywhere near Point Reyes. Secondly, historically, meaning way before modern civilization, predators and prey species kept each other in a natural balance, which is what we want. Additionally, this is a small national park near population centers (San Francisco, Oakland) and hunting here is impractical.
Great piece! I've had the pleasure of visiting the park, the Thule Elk are majestic. Thank you for sharing this information.

Very well done! The camera shots in this are unbelievable! I love going out and seeing the elk and this was a great way to find out more.
Very well done, Grayson! Thank you for bringing attention to Point Reyes.

Very true - we need to keep the pressure on!
If there's not enough water for six thousand, how did they survive before

@@grayson.captures Also, the 6 thousand mean anywhere in the state of CA (the only place they are found.)
