In Yellowstone National Park Itself, you can see elk 12 months out of the year in and around the park headquarters at Mammoth just south of the North Gate at Gardiner. Animals loaf around houses, government buildings, in campgrounds and just about anywhere. Crowds of people have little effect on them. Other good spots to see elk in the park are in meadows from Mammoth to Norris Junction, and then to Madison Junction. You may also see some around Canyon Village and Old Faithful. Outside Yellowstone, look for them between the town of West Yellowstone and Big Sky. In Idaho, good spots are in Island Park and In the Targhee National Forest. You're also apt to see elk outside Cooke City toward and along the Beartooth Highway and in the vicinity of the Chief Joseph Highway in Wyoming.

What do wolves in Yellowstone eat?

The wolves in Yellowstone eat mostly elk, and the prey most hunted by wolves there is elk (between 1995 and 2001, 92% of recorded wolf kills in Yellowstone were elk). They also hunt bison and moose, but not nearly as much as elk. They rarely hunt deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorns, or any of the other hooved mammals found in Yellowstone. They may prey on almost anything if they can, such as the occasional fox or beaver, but this is also rare. However, wolves are scavengers as well as hunters and will eat almost anything that's died recently, such as roadkill. To sum it up: the largest part of wolves' diet in Yellowstone is made up of elk.
