Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

Several federal and state agencies, and a couple private concerns, make live webcams available for watching for elk. The anticipation of possibly spotting one on each new visit is nearly as good as being out there on the ground to stalk the big critters.

Among them are the following:

Montana
