Buffalo River ELK ARE BACK!
The wild elk have returned to our pastures big time! 
They never really went away - in fact some of our guests reported seeing them all through the winter.
But SPRING is a GREAT TIME for wild elk viewing from the porches of our cabins and while you go 4wheeling on our ranch.
Our thanks to Lee Walsh of the SearcyCountyChamber.org for this elk photograph.
