If you’re in far southwest Virginia during fall, you might here an elk bugling…

These 700-pound animals used to live throughout the eastern United States, but European colonizers overhunted them, and they went extinct in the 1800s.

Now, elk are coming back. Roxy Todd joined a bus tour of tourists who traveled to see elk in their new habitat.
