Chance and the Elk

[Queen of Poop]

Pictured is the moose that Chance also chased from the yard, he's gotten pretty territorial it would seem.

We are on an elk path, they are constantly coming thru the yard. Now that it's greened up they are staying to have a snack. The other morning there were 15 of them to the west of the house and another 13 to the north, just having breakfast.

Yesterday Chance faced off with 9 elk. I'm thinking the leader was the same one he faced off with in the photos posted here. It was actually chasing him.

I was thinking the elk was a female that went head to head with him. But don't know enough about them to be sure.

These lovelies are in the yard pretty much every day, several times a day. Along with deer and most recently a moose. We also see coyotes but so far we've been lucky enough to have Chance in the house when we've seen them.
