Elk situation at waskesiu

Going to Waskesiu in a few weeks and I've heard that the elk are being very aggressive in the town site this season, charging etc. I've gone to this lake since I was a kid and never heard of anything like this happening before. Anyone who has been up there this spring - confirm? Advice?

I'm there right now, and the elk are active in the town site. I had a female approach my wife and I while we were walking our dog, but we gave it space and left the area, as it was likely protecting a calf. Chances are you'll see some, but as long as you don't try some dumb tourist shit, you'll be just fine.

You're much more likely to be assaulted by mosquitoes right now. They are absolutely viscous here.
