Bonus: elk

Three male elk crossed the road in front of us beside Latah Creek at noon on a Saturday.

I have only seen tule elk before this, which are pretty small. 

These are big elk. The only species of deer in North America that rivals it for size is the moose.

It's the third largest member of the deer family in the world.

Nick did keep telling me that I 'd see elk.
