Elk in a Field of Oats


     Back in the 1970’s and 80’s there were no elk in our valley, but slowly they have established themselves, much to the chagrin of the local farmers.  They cause a lot of problems for the farmers, especially during the winter, when they eat away at the large bales of hay stored outside for cattle. 

    The other day while going through a stack of old snapshots I came upon this interesting photo.  I used to bike into work throughout most of the year, and one time while biking home I noticed the two elk antlers sticking out above this field of oats.
