Move over the Metchosin one, there91裸聊视频檚 a new Jesse Roper in town 91裸聊视频� well, in Youbou, actually.

The smalll community nestled on the shores of Vancouver Island's Cowichan Lake has long honoured its wildlife, with many an elk becoming local celebrities.

Residents are accustomed to them wandering the roads and yards, and getting tangled in some intriguing items during the rut, or mating season.

For years, a Roosevelt bull named Bob captured the hearts of the community, which mourned the frequently-photographed animal after it died after a vehicle collision earlier this year.

Enter Jesse Roper.

The Youbou one, not The Metchosin One 91裸聊视频� an affectionate nickname given to singer-songwriter who hails from the Greater Victoria district of the same name.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 the rut right now and the elk are a little bit precocious right now, getting into more trouble than they normally do,91裸聊视频� explained Youbou resident Monica Ash, who knew Bob well. 91裸聊视频淲e usually name the elk if they91裸聊视频檙e highly recognizable.91裸聊视频�

Residents noticed one particularly rambunctious fellow 91裸聊视频� who wasn91裸聊视频檛 named yet 91裸聊视频� had some rope around his antlers in a way that got them worried. As is par for the course in Youbou, folks called conservation to make sure the elk was OK.

91裸聊视频淲e always look after the elk, we care about wildlife in the area,91裸聊视频� Ash said.

The observation sparked online commentary on the community Facebook page, where someone decided he should be called Jesse Roper.

91裸聊视频淧eople adopted it and he91裸聊视频檚 very well known in our community now. We91裸聊视频檙e all looking out for Jesse Roper,91裸聊视频� Ash said. 91裸聊视频淭hey91裸聊视频檙e both Island staples, elk and Jesse Roper 91裸聊视频� now there91裸聊视频檚 two.91裸聊视频�

The rope issue resolved itself, as did the hacksaw elk Jesse Roper managed to get into a tangle with earlier in the rut, which lasts from August to mid-October.

Currently on tour in the U.S., Jesse Roper and The Pretty Good Band performs on home turf Nov. 22 in a sold-out show at the Royal Theatre in Victoria. A second show has been added for Nov. 21.

That doesn91裸聊视频檛 stop the tunesmith from catching up on social media, where he found a post about his elk namesake.

91裸聊视频淲hen I first heard the moniker 91裸聊视频榯he Metchosin One91裸聊视频� I was honoured and almost kinda shy about the title,91裸聊视频� Roper wrote on social media. 91裸聊视频淭he things you don91裸聊视频檛 see coming along the path you chose for yourself are often the most interesting. Recently, I91裸聊视频檝e seen my name popping up attached to this big handsome elk and I like it. Apparently he had rope wrapped around his antlers so the locals in Youbou named him Jesse Roper. May he live long and make many mini elks.91裸聊视频�
