Rangers at Great Smoky Mountains National Park are investigating the attempted taking of an elk inside the Cataloochee Area of the National Park.
This is the first reported taking of an elk inside the Park since the elk were experimentally released into the Smokies in 2001. Park biologists estimate that the Park's herd numbers about 105 animals.
No further details are available at this time.
