Five Bulls last week. Look hard and you can see em in this photo.
These photos were all taken from our east deck.
60 head this morning, they divided into two groups. This is the one that landed closest to the house. I think the majority of the bulls went with the first group, but still several bulls in this one.

We've never had elk in these parts, maybe a sighting or two, but about 3 years ago we began to see a few here and there, but never in these numbers. They are awesome to look at, so awesome in fact that Eric, who has a landowner permit, hasn't had the heart to shoot one from the porch so that they might come back by. This however, may be short lived once they start doing a number on our fences and hay. We lease our hunting rights, so to have a respectable number of hunters without having to pick and choose amoung others. But I still made Eric wear an orange hat today on his horse ride, just in case.
