Elk!

I saw a herd of elk in someone's pasture along Cedar Creek Road yesterday. At first I thought it was a large group of horses, but then, because of the uniform coloration, tight cluster and number (roughly 20 animals), I realized what they really must be. I was very pleased to see them. It recalled to me what a local friend said about Elk "All year they're everywhere you look, but the first day of hunting season, they're nowhere." I love pondering how an animal can be so good at what it does.
