Imagine how much damage these guys could do on Salt Spring!

I've seen these just outside the Redwood forest, where it says "Watch for elk". So we did and there they were, watching us, from a field. Just like these ones. I've also eaten a bit of one--best Shepherd's pie I've ever made. If you drive near Cowichan Lake you can run into herds of them, like cows in the middle of the road. They're big! And the bulls are impressively horned.

Why drive to California? 3000 on The Little Mainland (VI). Their number in California is deminishing, yet they are easy to see there. Also they are in the Olympics of Wshington State.
This photo was part of a herd.
