Am I not reading/seeing your "elk in the winter" caption correctly? You do realize those are rabbit tracks leading from the shed right, or am I missing something?
The "Elk in April" tracks looks more like two smaller tracks right next to each other, and not elk. It may just be the picture as I can't tell what critter's feet they are from, but unless the hooves are really splayed out and uneven, it isn't an elk track.
I may be in total left field here, but am just not getting those two statements.
