I've never had a picture of elk on my Black Hills place until now. Deer, lions, coyotes, foxes, whistle pigs---plenty. The guy living in my guest house put some cameras farther up the back hill than I typically go. Last night he texted me these two pics. I have an archery tag and the season is open but, not being Shrapnel, I'm waiting until the end of the month to go out and get after them. I don't think this/these elk will be there any longer but maybe so.

Think this is the same elk or two different? Well fed in both cases.
