Walked up behind my house with my wife and dogs to check on elk herds. They hang around my area and eat the spring growth before heading up to higher elevations. Seems certain flowers in Spring coincide with elk and deer in the area Buttercups ![[Linked Image]](http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab186/ribka123/walk8_zps928aa35e.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab186/ribka123/walk11_zps7aecceb0.jpg) Stewart Mountains ![[Linked Image]](http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab186/ribka123/walk6_zps50ab9bd8.jpg) ran into quite a few deer ![[Linked Image]](http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab186/ribka123/walk7_zps99ce5b1d.jpg)

In a 5 mile radius found four mature cow elk and some does that were killed this past Winter. Looked like some of carcasses were drug a distance. Guessing a mountain lion as I see them in my area sometimes ![[Linked Image]](http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab186/ribka123/walk4_zps258e014d.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab186/ribka123/walk3_zps1f1496bb.jpg) Wife found one killed a month or so ago.
