More than 30,000 elk from 7-8 different herds summer in Yellowstone and approximately 15,000 to 22,000 winter in the park. These types of stacks are usually made from antlers shed after ruts. In areas with deer or elk you can find antlers all over the the woods. http://www.pinedaleonline.com/thingstodo/antlerhunting.htm Elk are the most abundant large mammal found in Yellowstone.
