Move over the Metchosin one, there香蕉视频直播檚 a new Jesse Roper in town 香蕉视频直播� 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 香蕉视频直播� an affectionate nickname given to singer-songwriter who hails from the Greater Victoria district of the same name.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 the rut right now and the elk are a little bit precocious right now, getting into more trouble than they normally do,香蕉视频直播� explained Youbou resident Monica Ash, who knew Bob well. 香蕉视频直播淲e usually name the elk if they香蕉视频直播檙e highly recognizable.香蕉视频直播�

Residents noticed one particularly rambunctious fellow 香蕉视频直播� who wasn香蕉视频直播檛 named yet 香蕉视频直播� 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.

香蕉视频直播淲e always look after the elk, we care about wildlife in the area,香蕉视频直播� Ash said.

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

香蕉视频直播淧eople adopted it and he香蕉视频直播檚 very well known in our community now. We香蕉视频直播檙e all looking out for Jesse Roper,香蕉视频直播� Ash said. 香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檙e both Island staples, elk and Jesse Roper 香蕉视频直播� now there香蕉视频直播檚 two.香蕉视频直播�

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 doesn香蕉视频直播檛 stop the tunesmith from catching up on social media, where he found a post about his elk namesake.

香蕉视频直播淲hen I first heard the moniker 香蕉视频直播榯he Metchosin One香蕉视频直播� I was honoured and almost kinda shy about the title,香蕉视频直播� Roper wrote on social media. 香蕉视频直播淭he things you don香蕉视频直播檛 see coming along the path you chose for yourself are often the most interesting. Recently, I香蕉视频直播檝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.香蕉视频直播�
