A Jamestown, North Dakota professional, Corey Seckerson serves as CEO of Seckerson Farms and has overseen a major expansion of family-managed land. An experienced hunting guide, Corey Seckerson enjoys seeking out big game such as bear and elk in Alaska’s wilderness areas.
Named in honor of Theodore Roosevelt, the Roosevelt Elk is common across much of the Pacific Northwest, including the coastal regions of Alaska and British Columbia. The largest of the four surviving species of elk on the continent, male bulls average nearly 900 pounds, with specimens as large as 1300 pounds having been found in Alaska.
With elk grazing on grasses in wide open spaces, they also frequent the edge of forest environments and old growth stands. This diverse mixture of cover provides them with a measure of protection from predators such as the gray wolf, as well as from inclement weather. Elk are a vital element in the forest life cycle, as they clear understory vegetation in ways that allow plant and animal species renewal.
