    Chance and the Elk

    Chance has a problem with letting the elk in the yard. Usually they run from him, but not on Wednesday. This one stood his ground.

    Wow just because I'm a city kid and how neat to see Chance and an elk together! Do they try to visit often? What is it about them that they shouldn't be in the yard?

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Haha. That's some great photos I've only seen elks in zoos. We don't have them in my country.
    It hasn't got antlers... so I'm guessing it's a female? Or is it a male who has lost his antlers?. .. if they do lose them at all? lol, I have no idea.

    Chance: " "

    Appears the 'backing down' came from the Mighty Protective of the Domain ...
    who stopped to analyze his options before jumping in with 4 feet!

    Zipp & Zopp did that with about a dozen DEER who were nibbling on the lawn
    when we returned in the Bus one night. I didn't see a thing.
    Z&Z spotted the 'intruders' whislt I was backing into the garage, and kept quiet.

    Not knowing there'd be a 'problem' - I let my Protectives out to powder their noses.
    Zipp & Zopp charged toward the pond with lil Fluffie Tailed Bowser trying to keep up.
    The 3-way BARK-a-Thon started when they got close - which spooked the Deer Mob
    into blind flight - Straight AT the charging Protectives.



    Thankfully, NUNbuddie got hurt - the Protectives never got stoppped before
    the Deer Mob had skillfully jumped OVER the Mutts and fled across the road
    and into the woods. Based upon the 'search pattern' the 3 Mutts were using ...
    they had NO Clure where the Deer had vanished to.

    Oh that is too cool...

    A friend of mine lives up in the hill country of TX and has herds of deer come up into her yard... We were in the house and Oz was out on the porch... A herd came up towards the porch, but Oz barely gave them a second glance. I'm not sure if he was scared of them or was too busy keeping track of me in the house. The friend was amazed though, because her daughter's dog will chase them if allowed off leash.

    Ive heard of to many people and pets being trampled by them to let the Hellions try and chase a moose off.

    I had a bull run over me, no contact, while crosscountry skiing as a kid.

    That's really cool!

    My parents get the occasional White Tail Deer in their back yard, but they run the second the see or smell the dogs.
