What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?

Of course it's a crappy bottom-corner shot... taken 5/11. Doesn't look quite right to be an elk...or a deer.
It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.

Really you think it's a moose? WEH, you seem pretty convinced...why? I do kinda agree with you. In the Blues.

the razor back stance to the hair sez moose. the lack of dark hair on the top of the head. the way the antlers are already palmating sez moose. you can see the coarse texture of the hide? and the bug out eyes sez moose.

I would say elk... not dark enough for a moose. And doesn't have the big shoulder hump of a moose. There antlers also grow more out than up.

Elk............ Or it could be one of those elusive ManBearPigs
But love of the wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need - if only we had eyes to see.

Which would mean you might as well move to a new area because all your elk and deer will be dead! :sry:

After looking at a whole lot of pics i gotta switch and say elk. Moose antlers seem to grow straight out the side of their skulls uniformly. Color had me fooled. Thats a light one.
