very cool. I live right near a town called Elk Grove, but I bet there hasn't been an elk there in 100 years. The only time I've seen any was in Yellowstone National park.
Interesting thing about elk, they were originally a plains grazer and followed the buffalo migrations because they preferred the fresh grass that came after the herds passed. When settlement came and buffalo ceased, they moved into foothills and forested regions and have thrived. They are very similar to European Red Deer.

Nice to sit outside and play for a huge cactus.
Some of my neighbors go to Arizona to escape our winters but they still like to return here for the summer. It sounds like your weather is very accommodating for sitting outside and playing for a huge cactus and I can imagine that the cactus would be a great audience.
That's exciting Gordon. Do you have to protect your garden from Elk instead of Deer like us? Or are they more cautious than deer?
They aren't as much a problem in the garden as deer are but they do destroy a lot of crop in the Fall. They are certainly more cautious than deer, this is about 100 to 150 yards away and they started running when I opened the patio door. Despite being something of a farm pest, they are very majestic looking.
